- The study investigates the prevalence and effects of pathogenic variants in a specific gene related to cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death among patients.

- Although the overall prognosis for dilated cardiomyopathy in variant carriers seems favorable, severe conditions and early onset were noted, especially in those with double variants.
