Pediatric cardiomyopathies are mostly attributed to variants in sarcomere-related genes. Unfortunately, the genetic architecture of pediatric cardiomyopathies has never been previously studied in Jordan. We sought to uncover the genetic landscape of 14 patients from nine families with several subtypes of pediatric cardiomyopathies in Jordan using Exome sequencing (ES).

Brachial artery pseudoaneurysms (PSA) are considered uncommon, but they can be limb and life threatening. Most etiologies are related to iatrogenic injury or following a fracture. Here we present a 37-year-old male complaining of a large swelling in his right upper arm that was gradually increasing in size for the last 7 months.

Variants in T‑box transcription factor 5 () can result in a wide phenotypic spectrum, specifically in the heart and the limbs. has been implicated in causing non‑syndromic cardiac defects and Holt‑Oram syndrome (HOS). The present study investigated the underlying molecular etiology of a family with heterogeneous heart defects.
