Common genetic modifiers influence cardiomyopathy susceptibility among the carriers of rare pathogenic variants

Abstract excerpt

Cardiomyopathy presents a significant medical burden due to frequent hospitalizations and invasive interventions. While cardiomyopathy is considered a rare monogenic disorder caused by rare pathogenic variants in a few genes, emerging evidence suggests that common genetic modifiers influence disease penetrance and clinical variability. Quantifying the interplay between common genetic modifiers and rare pathogenic...
