Key result
Familial MYH7 mutation linked to first reported case of restrictive subtype LVNC.
Why the study?
Left ventricular non-compaction is a rare, unclassified congenital cardiomyopathy with nine identified subtypes, and studies regarding subtype prognosis and mortality are ongoing.
Reports the first case of restrictive subtype left ventricular non-compaction linked to an MYH7 gene mutation and family history.
May broaden MYH7 cardiomyopathy spectrum to restrictive LVNC; extends genetic associations but remains hypothesis-generating.
Left ventricular non-compaction is a very rare, still unclassified congenital cardiomyopathy. Nine distinct subtypes of functional and anatomical left ventricular non-compaction have been identified. Studies on the prognosis and mortality of subtypes are ongoing. Our study presented the first restrictive subtype left ventricular non-compaction case with family history and MYH7 gene mutation.

Öztarhan et al. (2022) studied this question. Restrictive subtype left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy was identified for the first time in a patient presenting with a family history and an MYH7 gene mutation.
