TNNI3
Autosomal Recessive (AR) Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
One gene has been described in AR FDC, as described in the first report below. One additional clinical report has been included of AR FDC.
Cardiac Troponin I. TNNI3. Cardiac troponin I is one of the three components that form the troponin complex in the thin filaments of striated muscle (the others being troponins T and C).

Study measurements:
Study Summary: Variations in the sequence of the cardiac troponin I (TNNI3) gene were examined in 235 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. One mutation was identified in a family with recessive disease.
Comment: The McKenna group at St George’s Hospital again contributed to the genetic cardiomyopathy literature with this first report of recessive DCM.

This was a study of 55 pediatric patients all less than 10 years of age with dilated cardiomyopathy from 41 families of Arab descent. The patient cohort represented 20% of the total number of children from these families. In 19 families parents were first cousins. Complex segregation analysis suggested a recessive inheritance model.
