Genetic testing for heart muscle disease in children and families
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) changes that may cause cardiomyopathy, a disease where the heart muscle is weakened. It may help families understand possible causes and inform future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease)
- If you’re not the patient, you must be a close family member of someone with cardiomyopathy
- People without cardiomyopathy are not eligible
- Family members of someone without cardiomyopathy are not eligible

This study looks at the genes behind cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle). It may help explain why it happens in your family and guide better care for you and relatives.
This study looks at people with cardiomyopathy (or related heart muscle conditions) and those who may be at risk because of family history or genetic test results. It may help researchers better understand who is likely to develop the condition and how best to monitor or support them.
This study is looking at people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.
This study focuses on people with certain “heart muscle” conditions (cardiomyopathies) to better understand them and guide care. If you have one of these specific diagnoses and are an adult, you may be able to take part.
This study collects health records, heart ultrasound (echo), MRI images, and optional DNA testing for people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It aims to build a large database to better understand HCM and support future research and care.
This study enrolls people with certain types of heart muscle diseases to learn how blocked heart arteries and tiny blood vessels affect symptoms and outcomes. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future care.
