Meanwhile, 32 communal DEGs (26 upregulated genes and 6 downregulated genes) and 3 hub genes [periostin (POSTN), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-5 (IGFBP5), and fibromodulin (FMOD)] were determined to be shared between HCM and DCM and the functional annotation of these genes highlighted the important position of growth hormone in HCM and DCM. The gene discussed is IGFBP5; the disease is familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
