MYH7

On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.

Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.

A heterozygous change in the MYH7 gene was identified in a UDN participant with behavioral disorders, congenital heart defects, and a brain malformation.
