| Abstract: |
Pediatric cardiomyopathies (CM) are rare and challenging to diagnose due to the complex and mixed phenotypes. With the advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS), variants in several genes associated with CM have been identified, such as Troponin C (TnC), encoded by the TNNC1 gene. De novo variants in TNNC1 have been associated with different types of CM, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recently added TNNC1 to their recommended list of genes for reporting secondary findings. In this study, we report a de novo variant, c.100G > C (p.Gly34Arg) in the TNNC1 gene identified in three siblings with a diagnosis of severe DCM causing infant death for one of the siblings and stillbirth in the other two pregnancies. The identification of the same de novo variant in all affected siblings is suggestive of germline mosaicism in this family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
