2430 clinical genetic testing can be obtained at http://www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/sites/GeneTests/? dbGeneTests. Sarcomere mutations are found in approximately 65% of adult and pediatric patients with familial HCM and approximately 40% of patients with unexplained LVH but no family history of disease. 3–7 In addition to these well-established sarcomere genes, mutations in other sarcomere-associated genes have been reported in association with HCM, including cardiac troponin C (TNNC1), z-disc components telethonin (TCAP), and muscle LIM protein (CRP3). 8–10 Mutations in these genes are extremely rare—identified in only a small number of isolated probands. Due to the lack of rigorous genetic support, they have not yet been definitively demonstrated to be diseasecausing. Clinical genetic testing is not available.
