A Novel Recessive Mutation in SPEG Causes Early Onset Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. It has been estimated that up to half of DCM cases are hereditary. Mutations in more than 50 genes, primarily autosomal dominant, have been reported. Although rare, recessive mutations are thought to contribute considerably to DCM, especially in young children.
