Idiopathic Restrictive Cardiomyopathy Is Primarily a Genetic Disease

Very few studies have investigated the genetic characteristics of RCM (2,3). [...]those studies were confined to a small number of patients and a limited number of genes (2,3). [...]the genetic spectrum of RCM is mostly unknown and no clear recommendations exist regarding the usefulness of genetic t...

Description
Summary:Very few studies have investigated the genetic characteristics of RCM (2,3). [...]those studies were confined to a small number of patients and a limited number of genes (2,3). [...]the genetic spectrum of RCM is mostly unknown and no clear recommendations exist regarding the usefulness of genetic testing in RCM (4).
