Date Time Ohio State researchers name 19 genes associated with heart muscle disease COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center led an international group of experts that worked together to classify 19 genes associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) as having high impact on the heart muscle disease. Researchers believe most of DCM has a genetic background, and at least 30% of people with DCM have a family member with the disease. First-degree family members (daughters, sons, brothers, sisters and parents) of a patient with DCM are encouraged to undergo genetic testing for the disease. However, current genetic testing panels analyze dozens, sometimes hundreds of genes, and they often have limited scientific support, making genetic results clinically difficult to interpret.
