Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has expanded the genes studied for CMs; however, the yield is still around 50%. The systematic study of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) could contribute to improving our diagnostic capacity. These alterations have already been described as responsible for cardiomyopathies in some cases; however, their impact has been rarely assessed. We analyzed the clinical significance of CNVs in cardiomyopathies by studying 11,647 affected patients, many more than those considered in previously published studies. We evaluated the yield of the systematic study of CNVs in a production context using NGS and a novel CNV detection software tool v2.0 that has demonstrated great efficacy, maximizing sensitivity and avoiding false positives. We obtained a CNV analysis yield of 0.8% that fluctuated depending on the type of cardiomyopathy studied (0.29% HCM, 1.41% DCM, 1.88% ARVC, 1.8% LVNC, 1.45% RCM), and we present the frequency of occurrence for 18 genes that agglutinate the 95 pathogenic\/likely pathogenic CNVs detected. We conclude the importance of including in diagnostic tests a systematic study of these genetic alterations for the different cardiomyopathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes15060774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,14]],"date-time":"2024-06-14T08:52:10Z","timestamp":1718355130000},"page":"774","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Clinical Relevance of the Systematic Analysis of Copy Number Variants in the Genetic Study of Cardiomyopathies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"David","family":"de U\u00f1a-Iglesias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de A Coru\u00f1a, 15071 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"},{"name":"Health in Code, 46024 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Pablo","family":"Ochoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health in Code, 46024 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de A Coru\u00f1a (INIBIC), 15006 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5776-0623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Monserrat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Department Dilemma Solutions, 15008 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Barriales-Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de A Coru\u00f1a, 15071 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de A Coru\u00f1a (INIBIC), 15006 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"},{"name":"Complexo Hospitalario de A Coru\u00f1a, Servizo de Sa\u00fade (SERGAS), 15006 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"},{"name":"Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica en Red (CIBERCV), 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"270","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehm342","article-title":"Classification of the Cardiomyopathies: A Position Statement from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases","volume":"29","author":"Elliott","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur.
