Upregulation of Yy1 Suppresses Dilated Cardiomyopathy caused by Ttn insufficiency.

Truncating variants in TTN (TTNtv), coding for the largest structural protein in the sarcomere, contribute to the largest portion of familial and ambulatory dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). TTN haploinsufficiency caused by TTNtv is suggested as the disease mechanism. However, it is unclear whether TTN insufficiency causes DCM.

Yin Yang 1 Suppresses Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Cardiac Fibrosis Through Regulation of and .

Rationale: Pathogenic variations in the lamin gene () cause familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). insufficiency caused by pathogenic variants is believed to be the basic mechanism underpinning -related DCM.

Objective: To assess whether silencing of cardiac causes DCM and investigate the role of Yin Yang 1 () in suppressing DCM.
