Genetic screening of family members is not yet performed routinely. Patients and methods: Three families with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and pathogenic variants in the troponin T2, Cardiac Type (TNNT2) gene were included. Pedigrees and clinical data of the patients were collected. The reported variants in the TNNT2 gene showed a high penetrance and a poor outcome, with 8 of 16 patients dying or receiving heart transplantation. The age of onset varied from the neonatal period to the age of 52. Acute heart failure and severe decompensation developed within a short period in some patients. Conclusion: Family screening of patients with DCM improves risk assessment, especially for individuals who are currently asymptomatic. Screening contributes to improved treatment by enabling practitioners to set appropriate control intervals and quickly begin interventional measures, such as heart failure medication or, in selected cases, pulmonary artery banding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13040611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]],"date-time":"2023-03-31T02:30:20Z","timestamp":1680229820000},"page":"611","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Genetic Screening Reveals Heterogeneous Clinical Phenotypes in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Troponin T2 Variants"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Angelika","family":"Weis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Congenital Heart Disease, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35390 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Svenja","family":"Krueck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Congenital Heart Disease, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35390 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gregor","family":"Dombrowsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein, 24105 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Medical Genetics, Carl von Ossietzky University, 26129 Oldenburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Sch\u00e4nzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neuropathology, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35390 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2143-5153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Jux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Congenital Heart Disease, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35390 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anselm","family":"Uebing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein, 24105 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research), Partner Site Hamburg\/L\u00fcbeck\/Kiel, 24105 Kiel, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inga","family":"Voges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein, 24105 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research), Partner Site Hamburg\/L\u00fcbeck\/Kiel, 24105 Kiel, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9894-6897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc-Phillip","family":"Hitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Congenital Heart Disease and Pediatric Cardiology, University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein, 24105 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Medical Genetics, Carl von Ossietzky University, 26129 Oldenburg, Germany"},{"name":"DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research), Partner Site Hamburg\/L\u00fcbeck\/Kiel, 24105 Kiel, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Rupp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Congenital Heart Disease, Justus Liebig University Giessen, 35390 Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e9","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000682","article-title":"Cardiomyopathy in Children: Classification and Diagnosis: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association","volume":"140","author":"Lipshultz","year":"2019","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zschirnt, M., Thul, J., Akint\u00fcrk, H., Valeske, K., Schranz, D., Skrzypek, S., M\u00fcller, M., Jux, C., Hahn, A., and Rupp, S.
