Pediatric cardiomyopathies are rare, heterogeneous, and challenging conditions, often with a genetic etiology. We estimated the yield of genetic testing in a pediatric cohort with cardiomyopathies and evaluated the potential candidacy to current or emerging treatments based on genetic results. Over one-third had a conclusive genetic test, including 25% of potential candidates for emerging precision therapies or developing pharmacological options.
小儿心肌病是罕见、异质性且具有挑战性的病症，通常具有遗传病因。我们估计了小儿心肌病队列中基因检测的阳性率，并根据基因检测结果评估了当前或新兴治疗方法的潜在适用性。超过三分之一的患者进行了确定性基因检测，其中25%是新兴精准疗法或开发药物选择的潜在候选者。
