An Unusual Case of 11αB‐Crystallin (CRYAB) Mutation as a Cause of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Restrictive Physiology: A Case Report and Focused Review of the Literature

Abstract

ABSTRACT Several diseases have been linked to αB‐crystallin (CRYAB) mutation. However, this mutation is an uncommon cause that has been associated in recent years with the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy with restrictive physiology due to a CRYAB mutation.
