Clinical Significance of Variants in the TTN Gene in a Large Cohort of Patients With Sporadic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Abstract excerpt

Background: Mutations in the TTN gene are the most common causes of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The clinical significance of TTN gene variants remains inadequately understood. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing and phenotypic characterisation were performed, and patients were followed up for a median of 44 months. Results: We analyzed the association of the TTN variants with the clinical outcomes in a prospective...
