Genome-Wide Analysis of Left Ventricular Maximum Wall Thickness in the UK Biobank Cohort Reveals a Shared Genetic Background With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
4 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background: Left ventricular maximum wall thickness (LVMWT) is an important biomarker of left ventricular hypertrophy and provides diagnostic and prognostic information in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Limited information is available on the genetic determinants of LVMWT. Methods: We performed a genome-wide association study of LVMWT measured from the cardiovascular magnetic resonance examinations of 42 176...
