Despite its severe outcomes, the genetic aetiology is still poorly characterised. High-throughput sequencing offers a great opportunity for a better understanding of the genetic causes of cardiomyopathy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951121002055_as2\"><jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current study aimed to elucidate the genetic background of cardiomyopathy in Egyptian children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951121002055_as3\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>This hospital-based study involved 68 patients; 58 idiopathic primary dilated cardiomyopathy and 10 left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy.

Positive family history of cardiomyopathy was present in 28% of dilated cardiomyopathy and 10% of the left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy patients. In 25 patients, 29 rare variants were detected; 2 likely pathogenic variants in<jats:italic>TNNI3<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>TTN<\/jats:italic>and 27 variants of uncertain significance explaining 2.9% of patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951121002055_as5\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The low genetic detection rate suggests that novel genes or variants might underlie paediatric cardiomyopathy in Egypt, especially with the high burden of consanguinity. Being the first national and regional report, our study could be a reference for future genetic testing in Egyptian cardiomyopathy children. Genome-wide tests (whole exome\/genome sequencing) might be more suitable than the targeted sequencing to investigate the primary cardiomyopathy patients. Molecular characterisation of cardiomyopathies in different ethnicities will allow for global comparative studies that could result in understanding the pathophysiology and heterogeneity of cardiomyopathies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951121002055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]],"date-time":"2021-05-26T09:57:23Z","timestamp":1622023043000},"page":"295-300","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Molecular
