Evolution of genetic testing and gene therapy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Studies over the last 30 years have identified hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as predominantly an autosomal dominant disorder caused by disease-causing variants in genes encoding the sarcomere proteins critical for contractile function. The two most common disease genes implicated are the MYBPC3 and MYH7 genes, with disease-causing variants in these two genes accounting for 70-80% of all genotype-positive HCM...
