Key result
Whole-exome sequencing identified three novel TTN variants in Chinese patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, implicating the vital role of the TTN gene in this disease.
Why the study?
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a severe heart disease with high morbidity and mortality, and the role of TTN warrants investigation.
Whole-exome sequencing identified three novel TTN variants in Chinese patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, further supporting the vital role of TTN in the disease.
May inform ancestry-specific genetic testing in DCM; leaves open functional validation and larger cohorts.
