Groundbreaking Discovery in Cardiomyopathy Research

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have made a groundbreaking discovery in the study of cardiomyopathy, an inherited heart condition that affects a significant portion of the population. The research, published in eBioMedicine, a part of The Lancet Discovery Science, utilized whole genome sequencing to investigate tandem repeat expansions (TREs) in heart conditions, providing valuable insights into early detection and potential precision therapies for cardiomyopathy.
