A novel de novo <i>CASZ1</i> heterozygous frameshift variant causes dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy

Abstract

We have identified a novel CASZ1 variant in a patient with combined DCM and LVNC for the first time, thus broadening the phenotypic spectrum of CASZ1 variants. Furthermore, this study emphasized the usefulness of whole-exome sequencing for genetic diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.
