Dcm Project

Welcome to the Dilated Cardiomyopathy Research Project. Our goal is to advance our understanding of the genetics of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We updated our website in 2015 due to a new US National Institutes of Health (NIH) award to fund the DCM Precision Medicine Study.The study is conducted by the DCM Consortium, a multi-institutional collaboration for DCM research led by Dr. Ray Hershberger at The Ohio State University. We will also maintain all families enrolled in our ongoing DCM study, first started in 1993 and now renamed the DCM Discovery Study. We will continue to enroll families who cannot participate in the new Precision Medicine Study into the ongoing Discovery Study.
