Sarcomeric dilated cardiomyopathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/754130926

Sarcomeric dilated cardiomyopathy is the presence of dilated cardiomyopathy in association with a sarcomeric gene mutation that is known to be causally or likely causally associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. Additional information: Sarcomere-encoding genes include actin, troponin T, β-myosin heavy chain, myosin binding protein C, α-tropomyosin, phospholamban, and SCN5A. Mutations in these genes are believed to result in a defect in force generation in the myocyte.
