Genetic testing in specific cardiomyopathies
An increasing number of genetic tests for cardiomyopathies are becoming available for clinical use. This commentary will give a short overview of indications and challenges concerning genetic testing for these conditions.
متن کاملGenetic cardiomyopathies causing heart failure.
Despite the striking advances in medical and surgical therapy, the morbidity, mortality, and economic burden of heart failure (HF) remain unacceptably high. There is increasing evidence that the risk and course of HF depend on genetic predisposition; however, the genetic contribution to HF is heterogeneous and complex. At one end of the spectrum are the familial monogenic HF syndromes in which ...
متن کاملGenetic spectrum of cardiomyopathies with neuromuscular phenotype.
Neuromuscular disorders are known to be associated with cardiac disease but often the cardiovascular symptoms can be difficult to unravel due to low physical activity in this patient group and thereby low strain on the heart. On the other hand, cardiomyopathy or cardiac arrhythmogenic disease may be the first sign of an underlying neuromuscular disorder. Indeed, of the more than 40 genes that h...
متن کاملPolymorphism and Genetic Diversity of BAT25 Marker in Colorectal Cancer
By its frequency, colorectal cancer (CRC) has become a serious public health problem. BAT25 marker is included in the panel of five markers dedicated to the diagnosis of CCR microsatellite instability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the polymorphism and genetic diversity of the BAT25 marker in CRC cases in Senegal. This prospective study was performed on 22 CRC patients. After DNA ...
متن کاملGenetic advances in sarcomeric cardiomyopathies: state of the art
Genetic studies in the 1980s and 1990s led to landmark discoveries that sarcomere mutations cause both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. Sarcomere mutations also likely play a role in more complex phenotypes and overlap cardiomyopathies with features of hypertrophy, dilation, diastolic abnormalities, and non-compaction. Identification of the genetic cause of these important conditions ...
