Genomic screening is an informative and helpful tool for the clinical management of inherited conditions such as cardiac diseases. Cardiac-inherited diseases are a group of disorders affecting the heart, its system, function, and vasculature. Among the cardiac inherited abnormalities, one of the most common is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Similarly, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is another common autosomal dominant inherited cardiac disease. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with an increased incidence of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome; reports have suggested that it could be caused by a mutation in the protein-coding gene PRKAG2, which encodes a subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase.
