The absence of left ventricular (LV) dilatation and systolic dysfunction, as assessed by LV ejection fraction (LVEF), in family members of genetically confirmed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients, carrying pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) familial gene variants categorizes them as a subgroup called genotype-positive phenotype-negative (GEN+ PHEN−). Identifying GEN+ PHEN− who are at the highest risk of developing the disease throughout their lifetime is crucial.

Abstract

The absence of left ventricular (LV) dilatation and systolic dysfunction, as assessed by LV ejection fraction (LVEF), in family members of genetically confirmed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients, carrying pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) familial gene variants categorizes them as a subgroup called genotype-positive phenotype-negative (GEN+ PHEN−). Identifying GEN+ PHEN− who are at the highest risk of developing the disease throughout their lifetime is crucial.
