The few foreign papers of the last decade have shown the relationship of various pathogenic variants of the ELAC2 gene to heterogeneous phenotypic manifestations, for which the unfavorable prognosis is common, caused by severe cardiomyopathy in the first year of life. The article presents the first clinical observation of a rare variant of the hypertrophic phenotype cardiomyopathy with a fatal outcome in the first year of life, and variants c.887T>C, p.L296P and c.1979A>T, p.K660I of the ELAC2 gene in Russia.The purpose of the work is to present clinical observation of a child with an early manifestation of a hypertrophic phenotype of cardiomyopathy caused by pathogenic variants of the ELAC2 gene.
