Psychosocial impacts on patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) who received a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) genetic test result

2024-03-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a hereditary heart condition, engendering possible fatal symptoms such as heart failure. Gene panel testing is currently employed to provide a genetic diagnosis for HCM, but the discovery of a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) genetic test result is a possibility. This study explored the psychosocial impacts of receiving a VUS result on patient...
