Genetic screening leads to advantages in early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of patients with suspected inherited cardiomyopathies. Here, we report a case of neonatal dilated cardiomyopathy due to a mutation of the <jats:italic>TNNI3<\/jats:italic> gene, which has not been published in neonatal dilated cardiomyopathy before.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patient was a 22-day-old newborn boy with poor ability to respond to stimuli, presenting with shortness of breath over 11 days. He presented with irregular fever, tachypnea, difficulty in ventilator withdrawal, and mild edema of both lower limbs, and III\/6SM could be heard in the precardiac area. He presented repeated weaning difficulties during hospitalization with intractable low EF heart insufficiency. Doppler echocardiography showed refractory low ejection fraction, cardiac enlargement, cardiac insufficiency, mild pulmonary hypertension, and mitral and tricuspid insufficiency with mild valve regurgitation. Whole-exome sequencing showed a mutation in the <jats:italic>TNNI3<\/jats:italic> gene, c. 544G&amp;gt;A (p.Glu182Lys). Thus, he was diagnosed with neonatal DCM. There was no mutation in the parents, the child died 2 weeks after discharge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>TNNI3<\/jats:italic> mutation is a novel likely pathogenic mechanism of neonatal dilated cardiomyopathy. Therefore, systematic use of diagnostic tools, advanced risk models, and a deeper understanding of the mechanism are required to reduce morbidity and mortality in this
