Histopathological analysis of cardiac tissue of the transgenic animals. The myofibrils are mostly regular aligned in the transgenic animals (A) and in the wildtype control (B). However, signs of myocyte disarray were detected in the transgenic animals (C) but not in the controls (D) and also mechanically ineffective endings of sarcomeres (E,F). Intriguingly, the nuclei of the cardiomyocytes in the transgenic pigs were often malformed (G), such nuclei can also be found in human HCM-patients with the same mutation (H). The scale bar represents 2 µm unless indicated otherwise.
