Investigating the dual role of mitochondrial and nuclear genome variants in pediatric cardiomyopathies

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial defects can lead to cardiomyopathies, which can be particularly severe in children. However, many cases of pediatric cardiomyopathy have no known etiology. To address this, we sought to explore if mitochondrial genome defects might be a contributor, as this could offer insights into disease mechanisms and guide targeted interventions. We first sequenced cardiomyopathy-related genes in twenty-seven...
