An autosomal dominant gene was identified in a family causing dilated cardiomyopathy with pump failure, dysrhythmia, and sometimes associated skeletal myopathy, with onset in the 4th to 7th decades.

May prompt genetic evaluation in families with late-onset DCM plus myopathy; leaves open variant prevalence and penetrance.
Case Report
Highlights the clinical features and heterogeneity of familial dominant idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, including associated skeletal myopathy and dysrhythmias.
Gardner et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Dominantly inherited dilated cardiomyopathy. Autosomal dominant gene for cardiomyopathy was evaluated. An autosomal dominant gene was identified in a family causing dilated cardiomyopathy with pump failure, dysrhythmia, and sometimes associated skeletal myopathy, with onset in the 4th to 7th decades.
