Mouse Phenotyping (a) Study design. (b) Echocardiography: Representative 2D and M-mode images from mutants (MyHC, TnT) and respective littermate control mice (ContM, ContT) illustrate that Left Ventricular (LV) cavity size is smaller in TnT-mutant mice, and larger in MyHC-mutant mice, when compared to littermate-controls. (c) Representative gross anatomy (left panel) and histology images (right panel) from mutants (MyHC, TnT) and littermate controls (ContM, ContT) reveal larger heart size in MyHC-mutants, and smaller heart size in TnT-mutants, when compared to littermate-controls. Bi-atrial enlargement is prominent in TnT-mutant mice. (d) Picrosirius Red staining reveals higher interstitial fibrosis in both mutant mouse hearts when compared to littermate-control hearts (for gross anatomy, calibration markers are 1 mm; microscopy calibration marker indicates 50 μm).
