PHILADELPHIA–Scientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have uncovered the molecular causes of a congenital form of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), an often-fatal heart disorder.
This inherited form of DCM — which affects at least several thousand people in the United States at any one time and often causes sudden death or progressive heart failure — is one of multiple congenital disorders known to be caused by inherited mutations in a gene called LMNA. The…
