This case report suggests for the first time a potential genetic predisposition for anthracyclines induced cardiomyopathy in patients with mutations in LMNA gene. Perhaps chemotherapies accelerate or deliver the "second-hit" in the development of DCM in patients with genetic mutations. More data is needed to understand the contribution of LMNA variants that predispose to DCM in patients receiving cardiotoxic therapies.
