Myopathic Cardiac Genotypes Increase Risk for Myocarditis
1 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Impairments in certain cardiac genes confer risk for myocarditis in children. To determine the extent of this association, we performed genomic sequencing in predominantly adult patients with acute myocarditis and matched control subjects. Putatively deleterious variants in a broad set of cardiac genes were found in 19 of 117 acute myocarditis cases vs 34 of 468 control subjects (P = 0.003). Thirteen genes...
