Dilated Cardiomyopathy Due to BLC2-Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3) Mutations

TLDR
DCM caused by mutations in BAG3 is characterized by high penetrance in carriers >40 years of age and a high risk of progressive heart failure.

TL;DR: Mendelian randomisation analysis supports causal roles for several HF risk factors, and demonstrates CAD-independent effects for atrial fibrillation, body mass index, and hypertension.

Cardiomyocyte contractile impairment in heart failure results from reduced BAG3-mediated sarcomeric protein turnover

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between reduced myofilament force-generating capacity (Fmax) and heart failure and showed impaired Fmax arises from reduced BAG3-mediated sarcomere turnover.

Standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants: a joint consensus recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology.

TL;DR: Because of the increased complexity of analysis and interpretation of clinical genetic testing described in this report, the ACMG strongly recommends thatclinical molecular genetic testing should be performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments–approved laboratory, with results interpreted by a board-certified clinical molecular geneticist or molecular genetic pathologist or the equivalent.

Proposal for a revised definition of dilated cardiomyopathy, hypokinetic non-dilated cardiomyopathy, and its implications for clinical practice : a position statement of the ESC working group on myocardial and pericardial diseases

TL;DR: A revised definition of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is proposed in an attempt to bridge the gap between recent understanding of the disease spectrum and its clinical presentation in relatives, which is key for early diagnosis and the institution of potential preventative measures.

The frequency of familial dilated cardiomyopathy in a series of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Dilated cardiomyopathy was found to be familial in at least one in five of the patients in this study, a considerably higher percentage than in previous reports.

Clinical and genetic issues in familial dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: Echocardiographic and electrocardiographic screening of first-degree relatives of individuals with IDC and FDC is indicated, as detection and treatment are possible before the onset of advanced symptomatic disease.
