The genetic etiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the critical role of sarcomeric variants in its pathogenesis are well recognized (1). Among these, loss-of-function variants in the myosin binding protein C gene ( This was a prospective, cross-sectional study of 100 adults (aged 18-65 years) with symptomatic Pre-existing anti-AAV9 NAb were undetectable in 50% of patients. Among those with detectable titers (range: 1:10-1:720), only 16% exceeded 1:40. TAb were undetectable in 53%; titers ranged from 1:10 to 1:65,600. A strong correlation was observed between NAb and TAb titers (r = 0.671, Pre-existing immunity to AAV9 was absent or low in most Show less
