Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively rare but debilitating diagnosis in the pediatric population and patients with end-stage HCM require heart transplantation. In this study, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing on pediatric HCM and control myocardium. We identified distinct underling cellular processes in pediatric, end-stage HCM in cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and myeloid cells, compared to controls. Pediatric HCM was enriched in cardiomyocytes exhibiting "stressed" myocardium gene signatures and underlying pathways associated with cardiac hypertrophy. Cardiac fibroblasts exhibited clear activation signatures and heightened downstream processes associated with fibrosis, more so than adult counterparts. There was notable depletion of tissue-resident macrophages, and increased vascular remodeling in endothelial cells. Our analysis provides the first single nuclei analysis focused on end-stage pediatric HCM.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
