Abstract
Several forms of hereditary dilated cardiomyopathy have been identified; with the exception of those resulting from mutations of mitochondrial DNA,1,2 no pathological finding can be used to differentiate the conditions, so their distinction depends on the pattern of transmission. Autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, and matrilinear forms have been reported; several families with X-linked dilated cardiomyopathy have also been described3-5.Keywords
