Myosin inhibitor reverses hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in pediatric iPSC-cardiomyocytes to mirror variant correction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is mainly caused by sarcomere gene variants in MYH7 and MYBPC3. Targeted drugs like myosin ATPase inhibitors have shown efficacy in adult HCM but have not been evaluated in children. We generated iPSC-cardiomyocytes (CMs) from four children with HCM harboring variants in MYH7 ( V606M; R453C) or MYBPC3 (G148R; P955fs and TNNI3_A157P ), variant-corrected controls, and a healthy individual. All CMs showed hypertrophy and sarcomere disorganization. All 3 single variant CMs showed higher contractility, slower relaxation, higher calcium transients and higher ATPase activity. Only MYH7 variant CMs showed stronger myosin-actinin binding. Targeted myosin ATPase inhibitor showed complete rescue of the phenotype in affected CMs and in cardiac Biowires to mirror isogenic controls. The response was stronger compared to verapamil or metoprolol, highlighting the need for clinical trials of myosin targeted therapy in pediatric HCM patients. The phenotype and response to drug therapy are influenced by the underlying genotype.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
