Abstract
- Structural changes to the left ventricle are characteristic of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a disease for which many rare genetic variants are known. Here, Pirruccello et al. report GWAS of seven cardiac MRI measurements in the left ventricle and describe shared loci and polygenic association with DCM.
