Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic evaluation of cardiomyopathies poses a challenge. Multiple genes are involved but no clear genotype-phenotype correlations have been found so far. In the past, genetic evaluation for hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathies was performed by sequential screening of a very limited number of genes. Recent developments in sequencing have increased the throughput, enabling simultaneous...
