From our RNAseq data we identify new genes that we had not previously associated with caffeine exposure and cardiomyopathy, including Nppb which is up regulated in F1 hearts at one year and in dilated cardiomyopathy67, and Mylk4 which is down regulated in our caffeine exposed F1 hearts and in human dilated cardiomyopathy patient left ventricle tissue68. This evidence concerns the gene MYLK4 and dilated cardiomyopathy.
