Abstract:Rationale:
Cardiomyopathies are a major cause of heart failure and have a strong heritable component.
Objective:
Determine the role of both common and rare nonsynonymous genetic variation in hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated familial cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Methods and Results:
Whole genome sequencing was used to determine common and rare nonsynonymous genetic variation in familial cases of HCM (n=56) or DCM (n=7… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
