Any people with HCM positive MCs here?
The other heath testing thread got me wondering whether there were any other members with MCs known to be heterozygous (or homozygous) for the MyBPC mutation?
We have a female retiree that is hetero (she was retired when found hetero, prior to first litter). She is going to be 5 in April. Had her first heart screening with a certified vet cardiologist this last year at age 4. No discernible heart changes yet, so we are hoping for a long life. There has been a only bit of research on prognosis of hetero cats. Seems to be a wide range of possible outcomes from essentially normal lifespan with minor heart changes to sudden death by age 3. We plan on having our girl screened every couple of years as long as she is asymptomatic and clear on echos.
