An Myh11 single lysine deletion causes aortic dissection by reducing aortic structural integrity and contractility

Abstract Pathogenic variants in myosin heavy chain (Myh11) cause familial thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (FTAAD). However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear because of a lack of animal models. In this study, we established a mouse model with Myh11 K1256del, the pathoge...
