A retrospective study was conducted of relatives who had been enrolled in family studies from 1987 to 1992. There were 2 original series; the first included 101 patients with IDC patients and their first-degree relatives. As described previously, 1 the index patients in this series were sequentially ascertained after they had presented to the Mayo Clinic for cardiology care without regard to family history (hereafter referred to as the “unselected series”). No genetic screening criteria were applied for these patients or their relatives to enroll in this study. The second series included 12 patients referred before the unselected series because of suspected familial IDC (hereafter referred to as the “selected series”).In the original study of both series, all first-degree relatives had been invited for evaluation regardless of whether the relative had, or was suspected to have had, heart disease. Evaluations of all participating relatives in the original study included review of medical histories, electrocardiograms, and 2-dimensional and M-mode echocardiograms. Criteria for a diagnosis of IDC in patients and relatives were a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) of 50% and LV size 95th percentile for age and body size, but pa-
