Genetic Testing For Predisposition To Inherited Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited condition caused by a disease associated variant in 1 or more of the cardiac sarcomere genes. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with numerous cardiac abnormalities, the most serious of which is sudden cardiac death. Genetic testing for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated variants is available through a number of commercial laboratories.
