drug exposures and preexisting cardiovascular disorders. These parameters incompletely …

Genetic etiology for alcohol-induced cardiac toxicity

JS Ware, A Amor-Salamanca, U Tayal, R Govind… - Journal of the American …, 2018 - jacc.org
Background : Alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is defined by a dilated and impaired left
ventricle due to chronic excess alcohol consumption. It is largely unknown which factors …

Reevaluating the genetic contribution of monogenic dilated cardiomyopathy

…, RJ Buchan, W Midwinter, A Wilk, N Whiffin, R Govind… - Circulation, 2020 - Am Heart Assoc
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is genetically heterogeneous, with >100
purported disease genes tested in clinical laboratories. However, many genes were originally …

[HTML][HTML] Quantitative approaches to variant classification increase the yield and precision of genetic testing in Mendelian diseases: the case of hypertrophic …

…, A Wilk, N Li, L Felkin, N Ingold, R Govind… - Genome medicine, 2019 - Springer
Background International guidelines for variant interpretation in Mendelian disease set stringent
criteria to report a variant as (likely) pathogenic, prioritising control of false-positive rate …

Phenotype and clinical outcomes of titin cardiomyopathy

…, I Voges, W Midwinter, A Wilk, R Govind… - Journal of the American …, 2017 - jacc.org
Background : Improved understanding of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) due to titin truncation
(TTNtv) may help guide patient stratification. Objectives : The purpose of this study was to …

Purpose Internationally adopted variant interpretation guidelines from the American College
of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) are generic and require disease-specific …

[HTML][HTML] Disease-specific variant pathogenicity prediction significantly improves variant interpretation in inherited cardiac conditions

…, R Buchan, W Midwinter, A Wilk, R Govind… - Genetics in …, 2021 - nature.com
Purpose Accurate discrimination of benign and pathogenic rare variation remains a priority
for clinical genome interpretation. State-of-the-art machine learning variant prioritization tools …

The yield of postmortem genetic testing in sudden death cases with structural findings at autopsy

…, CJ Pua, BY Soh, JD Bhalshankar, R Govind… - European Journal of …, 2020 - nature.com
