Identification of a Novel de Novo Variant in the CASZ1 Causing a Rare Type of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
A new de novo frameshift variant has been identified in the CASZ1 gene leading to severe dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods: The proband was analyzed with WES NGS, post-mortem, using dried blood spots on filters. The variant was verified with Sanger sequencing for the proband and her parents. Results:...

| Summary: | A new de novo frameshift variant has been identified in the CASZ1 gene leading to severe dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods: The proband was analyzed with WES NGS, post-mortem, using dried blood spots on filters. The variant was verified with Sanger sequencing for the proband and her parents. Results: We reported a proband with a new de novo frameshift mutation, c.3781del (p.(Trp1261GlyfsTer29)), in the CASZ1 gene. The clinical presentation was similar to the severe phenotype described in previous studies. Conclusions: In this study, we described a new case with a frameshift mutation in CASZ1 causing a severe phenotype of dilated cardiomyopathy. |
