Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and effects of pathogenic variants in a specific gene related to cardiomyopathy and sudden cardiac death among patients.
- Out of 9,516 tested individuals, 31 were found to carry pathogenic variants, mostly presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy, with some also experiencing severe cardiac issues.
- 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.
