Disease relevance of MYH2

 

High impact information on MYH2

 

Associations of MYH2 with chemical compounds

 

Biological context of MYH2

  • In addition, we analyzed the extent and distribution of nucleotide variation in MYH2 in 50 blood donors, who served as controls, by the complete sequencing of all 38 exons comprising the coding region [8].
 

Anatomical context of MYH2

 

Other interactions of MYH2

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MYH2

  • METHODS: The expression of MyHC IIa in nine muscle specimens from six individuals carrying the mutation was analyzed by immunohistochemistry, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and a new reverse transcriptase--PCR method to measure the relative abundance of the various MyHC transcripts [1].
