    Abstract Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined as dilation and/or reduced function of one or both ventricles and remains a common disease worldwide. An estimated 40% of cases of familial DCM have an identifiable genetic cause. Accordingly, there is a fast-growing interest in the field of molecular genetics as it pertains to DCM. Many gene mutations have been identified that contribute to phenotypically significant cardiomyopathy. DCM genes can affect a variety of cardiomyocyte functions, and particular genes whose function affects the cell-cell junction and cytoskeleton are associated with increased risk of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Through advancements in next-generation sequencing and cardiac imaging, identification of genetic DCM has improved over the past couple decades, and precision medicine is now at the forefront of treatment for these patients and their families. In addition to standard treatment of heart failure and prevention of arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, patients with genetic cardiomyopathy stand to benefit from gene mechanism-specific therapies.

    Abstract The field of cardiovascular genetics has tremendously benefited from the recent application of massive parallel sequencing technology also referred to as next generation sequencing (NGS). However, along with the discovery of additional genes associated with human cardiac diseases, the analysis of large dataset of genetic information uncovered a much more complex and variegated landscape, which often departs from the comfort zone of the monogenic Mendelian diseases image that clinical molecular geneticists have been well acquainted with for many decades.-

    It is now clear that, in addition to highly penetrant genetic variants, which in isolation are able to recapitulate the full clinical presentation when expressed in animal models, we are now aware that a small but significant fraction of subjects presenting with cardiac muscle diseases such as cardiomyopathies or primary arrhythmias such as long QT syndrome (LQTS), may harbor at least two deleterious variants in the same gene (compound heterozygous) or in different gene (double heterozygous). Although the clinical presentation in subjects with more than one deleterious variant appears to be more severe and with an earlier disease onset, it somehow changes the viewpoint of clinical molecular geneticists whose aim is to identify all possible genetic contributors to a human condition.-

    In this light, the employment in clinical diagnostics of the NGS technology, allowing the simultaneous interrogation of a DNA target spanning from large panel of genes up to the entire genome, will definitely aid at uncovering all such contributors, which will have to be tested functionally to confirm their role in human cardiac conditions. The uncovering of all clinically relevant deleterious changes associated with a cardiovascular disease would probably increase our understanding of the clinical variability commonly occurring among affected family relatives, and potentially provide with unexpected therapeutic targets for the treatment of symptoms related to the presence of "accessory" deleterious genetic variants other than the key molecular culprit.-

    Abstract Purpose of review: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which include genetic and nongenetic forms, is the most common form of cardiomyopathy. DCM is characterized by left ventricular or biventricular dilation with impaired contraction. In the United States, DCM is a burden to healthcare that accounts for approximately 10,000 deaths and 46,000 hospitalizations annually. In this review, we will focus on the genetic forms of DCM and on recent advances in the understanding of cytoskeletal, sarcomeric, desmosomal, nuclear membrane, and RNA binding genes that contribute to the complexity and genetic heterogeneity of DCM.
    Recent findings: Although mutations in TTN remain the most common identifiable cause of genetic DCM, there is a growing appreciation for arrhythmogenic-prone DCM due to mutations in LMNA, desmosomal genes, and the recently described FLNC gene encoding the structural filamin C protein. Mutations in RBM20 highlight the relevance of RNA splicing regulation in the pathogenesis of DCM. Although expanded genetic testing has improved access to genetic diagnostic studies for many patients, the molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of the disease remained largely unknown.
    Summary: : The identification of the molecular causes and subsequent insight into the molecular mechanisms of DCM is expanding our understanding of DCM pathogenesis and highlights the complexity of DCM and the need to develop multifaceted strategies to treat the various causes of DCM.
