YouTube video by TheHeartHive Study Summary: Sex Differences in the Genetic Cause of DCM

Our new research from the GoDCM Study:
exploring sex differences in the genetic causes of DCM, showing variation in how genetic variants contribute to disease risk between males and females.

We’ve created a plain-language animation to explain

Researchers find new genetic explanation for heart condition | Imperial News | Imperial College London Researchers from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences in collaboration with UCL have identified new genes involved in Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

Researchers from NHLI, @mrc-lms.bsky.social & UCL have identified that dilated cardiomyopathy, the main reason for heart transplantation, can be caused by the small effects of thousands of genes – and not just one 🫀 @seanlzheng.bsky.social @jamesware.bsky.social

An excellent day at the Cardiomyopathy UK National Conference 2024! Lovely to see so many people interested in the Heart Hive’s mission to open up research to more people with #cardiomyopathy and #myocarditis

🫀New paper by @kathrynmcgurk.bsky.social with @drdeclanoregan.bsky.social published today in
