Elucidation of the molecular basis of cardiomyopathies has led to a categorization of the phenotypes according to their genetic etiology. [what-when-how.com]

(Etiology) Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is caused by mutations in the MYH7, MYBPC3, TNNT2, TNNI3, and some other unidentified genes. [dovemed.com]

Once aforementioned diagnosable causes of DCM have been excluded, the etiology of DCM can be either genetic (familial) or non-genetic. [crcd.eu]

Etiology In FDC, there is clear evidence of Mendelian segregation of disease phenotype. FDC is a heterogeneous entity (Table 2 ). [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
