Abstract excerpt
Pediatric primary cardiomyopathy is rare but serious, having high mortality; hypertrophic and dilated types are the most common. Its etiology has been mainly considered idiopathic; however, next generation sequencing techniques have revealed nearly half of idiopathic pediatric cases arose from specific genetic mutations. Therefore, our study aimed to identify the genetic causes of primary idiopathic...
