A pooled dataset and a comprehensive genotype-phenotype analysis show that the age at disease onset of HCM patients with MYH7 is earlier and leads to a more severe phenotype than in patient without such mutations. Furthermore, patients with sarcomeric mutations are more susceptible to SCD. The present study further supports the clinical interpretation of sarcomeric mutations in HCM patients.
