Biallelic Loss of Function Variants in Myocardial Zonula Adherens Protein Gene (MYZAP) Cause a Severe Recessive Form of Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most frequent cause of heart failure in the young and the leading cause of transplantation. Almost half of the cases have a familial (hereditary) component, but even in familial cases, the diagnostic yield of genetic testing is lower than <40%.1 Myocardial zonu...

Sumario:Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most frequent cause of heart failure in the young and the leading cause of transplantation. Almost half of the cases have a familial (hereditary) component, but even in familial cases, the diagnostic yield of genetic testing is lower than <40%.1 Myocardial zonula adherens protein (MYZAP) gene encodes a protein widely expressed in cardiac tissue, being an emerging candidate to become a DCM-associated gene.
