Abstract excerpt
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the most common types of cardiomyopathies has a heterogeneous nature and can be seen in Mendelian forms. Next Generation Sequencing is a powerful tool for identifying novel variants in monogenic disorders. We used whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing techniques to identify the causative mutation of DCM in an Iranian pedigree. We found a novel variant in the GATA6...
