**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human MYH6 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q11.2 and is approximately 26 kb in length. This allele, which encodes myosin-6 protein, plays a role in atrial muscle cell contraction. Mutation of the gene is associated with atrial septal defect 3, sick sinus syndrome 3, dilated cardiomyopathy 1EE and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 14.
