A PDLIM7 variant in familial mitral valve prolapse: a case series

Abstract

In the presented case of familial mitral valve prolapse, whole exome sequencing was used to reveal a missense variant in the PDLIM7 gene. This gene is considered a possible novel candidate gene for familial MVP based on PDLIM7 knock-out mice and zebrafish showing mitral valve abnormalities.
