Identification and validation of autophagy‑related genes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant cardiac disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy resulting from the disordered arrangement of myocardial cells, which leads to impaired cardiac function or death. Autophagy (AT) is a biochemical process through which lysosomes degrade and recycle damaged or discarded intracellular components to protect cells against external environmental conditions, such as hypoxia and oxidative stress. AT is closely related to HCM, and thus, serves an important role in myocardial hypertrophy. However, the precise mechanism underlying the regulation of AT in cardiac hypertrophy remains elusive. The present study aimed to examine the role and mechanisms of AT-related genes (ARGs) in HCM through bioinformatics analysis and experimental vali
