Distinct hypertrophic cardiomyopathy genotypes result in convergent sarcomeric proteoform profiles revealed by top-down proteomics

Significance Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic heart disease and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults. HCM has been linked to mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins, but how different mutations can result in a similar clinical phenotype is unknown. …
