This case report highlights the importance of multimodality diagnostic approach in a patient with a neuromuscular disorder and associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by identifying a novel mutation variant in FHL1 gene. Raising awareness of non-sarcomeric gene mutations which can lead to HCM is fundamental, because of diagnostic and clinical risk stratification challenges.
