BACKGROUND: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a genetic cardiomyopathy results from the failure of myocardial development during embryogenesis. Previous reports show that defects in TAZ, SCN5A, TPM1, YWHAE, MYH7, ACTC1 and TNNT2 are associated with LVNC. Sequencing of individuals using family-based design is a powerful approach for hereditary disease. In this study, we used whole-exome sequencing to screen...
