INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most frequent cause of heart transplantation. The prevalence of familial disease can reach 50%. Our objective was to describe the genetic basis of DCM in a cohort with a high proportion of transplanted patients.
METHODS: We included patients with DCM and genetic testing performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) that included at least 80 genes. Clinical data, family history and genetic results were retrospectively analysed. When possible, assessment of first-degree relatives was carried out.
RESULTS: Eighty-seven DCM patients and 308 relatives from 70 families were evaluated. Clinical prevalence of familial disease was 37% (32 patients). Forty-four percent of patients (38 patients) had required heart transplantation. A relevant variant was found in 43 patients (49%), 25 patients (29%) carried variants of unknown significance and in 19 patients (22%) the study was negative. Most genetic variants were found in sarcomeric genes and the yield of genetic testing was higher in patients with familial DCM.
CONCLUSIONS: The yield of genetic testing in our DCM cohort was high, reaching 69% in familial cases. Mutational spectrum was heterogeneous and the identification of the specific aetiology of the disease often provided prognostic information.
