Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We evaluated the diagnostic yield in pediatric dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) of combining exome sequencing (ES)-based targeted analysis and genome-wide copy-number variation (CNV) analysis. Based on our findings, we retrospectively designed an effective approach for genetic testing in pediatric DCM. METHODS: We identified 95 patients (in 85 families) with pediatric onset of DCM. We initially excluded 13...
