| Genetic mutations make pregnant women heart "broken" |
There are some genetic mutations that can make young healthy women more susceptible to perinatal cardiomyopathy (PPCM).
There are some genetic mutations that can make young healthy women more susceptible to perinatal cardiomyopathy (PPCM).
This time, the new study revealed four other genetic mutations that were not previously found to be associated with PPCM.
Arany said: "This study provides for the first time an extensive genetic and phenotypic map of PPCM, which is of great significance for understanding the relationship between PPCM and DCM.
In this study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania retrospectively analyzed the data of nearly 470 women suffering from PPCM, and looked at clinical information and DNA samples.
The researchers hope that the study will promote changes in related treatments and allow doctors to follow similar established guidelines for genetic testing practices and consultations for DCM patients, as well as gene-specific treatments.
Arany said: "We think this study shows how important genetic screening and counseling are for women with PPCM, but this is not common at this time.
The researchers said that this study revealed genes that work for women with PPCM, but what needs to be further studied is how pregnancy can trigger the disease for women with specific genetic susceptibility.
