Background: Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most commonly encountered heart diseases reported globally. It is characterized by enlarged ventricles with impaired systolic and diastolic functions. Mutations in gene are one of the causative factors to precipitate the disease. However, association of SNPs of with DCM in particular has not been well documented.
Method: Here we present a limited and restricted case study of patients from south eastern part of India afflicted with idiopathic DCM and conduction defects. By using next generation sequencing we have sequenced the exons of gene from genomic DNA isolated from patients.
Result: We have identified the linkage of 8 different SNPs with idiopathic DCM viz. rs121117552, rs538089, rs505058, rs4641, rs646840, rs534807, rs80356803 and rs7339. These SNPs are scattered throughout the gene with prevalence for the region encoding the central rod domain of lamin A/C.
Conclusion: Most of these SNPs in were previously reported to be involved in various disorders other than DCM. We conclude that, variation in is one of the major underlying genetic causes for the pathogenesis of DCM, as observed in few Indian populations.

Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) protein, a calcium ion release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of myocardial cells, plays a crucial role in regulating cardiac systolic and diastolic functions. Mutations in RyR2 and its dysfunction are implicated in various congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Studies have shown that mutations in the RYR2 gene, which encodes the RyR2 protein, are linked to several cardiac arrhythmias, including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), long QT syndrome (LQTS), calcium release deficiency syndrome (CRDS), and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Its significance is underscored by the discovery of neonatal patients suffering from often fatal heart failure caused by rare compound heterozygous variants in RPL3L, a muscle-specific ribosomal protein that replaces the ubiquitous RPL3 in cardiac ribosomes. -linked heart failure represents the only known human disease arising from mutations in tissue-specific ribosomes, yet the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms remain poorly understood despite an increasing number of reported cases.

Existing cardiovascular studies tend to suffer from small sample sizes and unaddressed confounders. Re-profiling of 9 microarray datasets revealed significant global gene expression differences between 358 failing and 191 non-failing left ventricles independent of age and sex ( = 5.1e-10).

We previously reported that plasmalogens, a class of phospholipids, were decreased in a setting of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Plasmalogen levels can be modulated via a dietary supplement called alkylglycerols (AG) which has demonstrated benefits in some disease settings. However, its therapeutic potential in DCM remained unknown.
