Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Cross-sectional studies of various forms of dilated cardiomyopathy have noted a truncating mutation in the gene encoding titin (‘TTNtv’) in 7-30% of patients, but the clinical importance of identifying a TTNtv in an asymptomatic adult is largely unknown. In contrast to cross-sectional studies, prospective cohort studies allow for unbiased estimates of the disease risks associated with a genotyp...
