Two siblings presented with early lethal noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM). Both carry compound heterozygous variants in the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR2).

The identified RYR2 variants are therefore likely causative for this early lethal NCCM phenotype. Further research is needed to understand the...
