In the present paper we describe a compound heterozygous case with a recurrent c.1168G>A (p.Ala390Thr) and a novel missense variant c.2758T>C (p.Tyr920His) in the VARS2 gene causing isolated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hyperlactatemia, and pulmonary hypertension leading to early death. This evidence concerns the gene VARS2 and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
