Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Pediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Reveals Clinical Management Opportunities and Syndromic Conditions.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has historically been diagnosed phenotypically. Through genetic testing, identification of a molecular diagnosis (MolDx) is increasingly common but the impact on pediatric patients is unknown. This was a retrospective study of next-generation sequencing data for 602 pediatric patients with a clinician-reported history of HCM.
