Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Genetic Foundations, Outcomes, Interconnections, and Their Modifiers

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent heritable cardiomyopathy. HCM is considered to be caused by mutations in cardiac sarcomeric protein genes. Recent research suggests that the genetic foundation of HCM is much more complex than originally postulated. The clinical presentations of HCM are very variable. Some mutation carriers remain asymptomatic, while others develop severe HCM, terminal heart...
