Analyzing the known DCM genes, we identified six patients as carriers of heterozygous variants, classified as pathogenic or VUS in five genes (Supplementary Table S2), four of these (CD36, DOLK ERBB2, POSTN) encoding for proteins expressed in the human heart [32] (https://www.proteinatlas.org, accessed on 4 March 2022). Here, CD36 is linked to familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
