Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the important causes of heart failure (HF). With the rapidly evolving technologies for gene analysis and tremendous advances in knowledge of HF genetics, the importance of genetic testing in DCM is currently highlighted. Several genetic variants causing DCM have been identified and this information is used for diagnosis, risk stratification and family screening of DCM patients. However, there are still several challenges in applying genetic testing to real clinical practice. In this review, we will summarize recent understandings in DCM genetics and provide an evidence-based practical guide to the use of genetic testing for DCM patients.
扩张型心肌病(DCM)是心力衰竭(HF)的重要病因之一。随着基因分析技术的迅速发展以及HF遗传学知识的巨大进步,基因检测在DCM中的重要性目前备受关注。已鉴定出几种导致DCM的基因变异,这些信息用于DCM患者的诊断、风险分层和家族筛查。然而,将基因检测应用于实际临床实践仍存在若干挑战。在本综述中,我们将总结DCM遗传学的最新认识,并为DCM患者基因检测的使用提供基于证据的实用指南。
