"Aim To analyze the genesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on a large cohort of patients from molecular genetics point of view and perform the functional analysis of the 3D molecular model of defective myosin-7 protein in silico. Methods The study enrolled 153 patients with diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from different parts of the Czech Republic. DNA samples were analyzed for mutations in exons 21 and 22 of the MYH7 gene, which have been associated with high mutation clustering. The 3D model of human myosin-7 was built using the x-ray structure of nucleotide-free scallop myosin S1 as the structural template. We performed de novo structure prediction of mutant and wild type peptides spanning the 769-788 amino acids region of the myosin-7 protein. Results The Arg(870)His and Asp(778)Val amino acid alterations were found in 2 unrelated patients with a severe form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The Asp(778)Val variation was chosen for subsequent 3D molecular modeling in silico. The mutation of the Asp by Val not only changes the character of the interaction pattern with other amino acids or ions but Val, being a small hydrophobic amino acid, can also completely change the stability of the region. Conclusion Mutation location in the MYH7 gene and changes in amino acid composition may have a crucial negative impact on the outcome of the disease in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In addition, a mutation that changes the charge of the amino acid is more likely to affect protein function than a conservative mutation." . "0353-9504" . "203223" .
