Implication
LVNC genetic testing has low yield in most patients; leaves open comprehensive studies of etiology and overlap with other cardiomyopathies.

Population
Patients with noncompaction of the left ventricle
The genetic etiology of left ventricular noncompaction remains largely unknown despite the identification of several associated loci, highlighting the need for comprehensive studies to define its phenotypic overlap with other cardiomyopathies.
