An Updated Evidence Assessment of the Genetic Causes of Dilated Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: Evidence of the diverse genetic architecture of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) continues to emerge and requires reassessment of the clinical relevance of implicated disease genes. Building on the 2019-2020 Clinical Genome Resource evaluation, the DCM gene curation exper...

Pangenomes aid accurate detection of large insertions and deletions from targeted sequencing: the case of cardiomyopathies

Abstract Background Gene panels represent a widely used strategy for genetic testing in a vast range of Mendelian disorders. While this approach aids reliable bioinformatic detection of short coding variants, it often fails to detect many larger variants. Recent studies have reco...
