Genetic association study identifies HSPB7 as a risk gene for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a structural heart disease with strong genetic background. Monogenic forms of DCM are observed in families with mutations located mostly in genes encoding structural and sarcomeric proteins. However, strong evidence suggests that genetic factors also affect the suscep...
