Genetic variant increases risk of heart muscle disease common in individuals of African ancestry
A single mutation in the CD36 gene, present in 17 percent of people with African ancestry, increases a person's dilated cardiomyopathy risk by 33 percent.
A new @natgenet.nature.com study by Broad, @mgbresearch.bsky.social, and VA Boston collaborators reveals a genetic variant that helps explain the high dilated cardiomyopathy risk in people of African ancestry.
