Pathogenic variants in HMGCR were recently linked to a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) phenotype. The protein product HMG CoA reductase (HMGCR) catalyzes a key component of the cholesterol synthesis pathway. The two other muscle diseases associated with HMGCR, statin-associated myopathy (SAM) and autoimmune anti-HMGCR myopathy, are not inherited in a Mendelian pattern.

Article Synopsis
  • Heart failure (HF) is a common heart problem, but scientists don't completely understand why it happens.
  • A specific splicing factor called hnRNPL gets more active in the hearts of mice and people with heart failure.
  • Researchers found that hnRNPL helps control how certain proteins are made in heart cells, and problems with it could contribute to heart failure.
