    Genetic heterogeneity in endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is evident, with familial cases suggesting X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive inheritance patterns. Most EFE cases are sporadic, making precise recurrence risk difficult to determine.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) is a rare cardiac condition affecting the heart's inner lining.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of EFE is crucial for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the inheritance patterns of endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) in familial cases.
    • To assess the genetic heterogeneity and recurrence risks associated with EFE.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 26 EFE cases over 10 years from three Manchester hospitals.
    • Detailed examination of 9 cases occurring within 4 families.

    Main Results:

    • Familial cases suggested diverse inheritance patterns: X-linked recessive (one family), autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance (one family), and autosomal recessive (two families).

  • The majority of EFE cases (17 out of 26) occurred sporadically.
  • No consanguinity was noted in families with suspected autosomal recessive inheritance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) exhibits significant genetic heterogeneity.
    • Accurate family history is essential for EFE assessment, though precise recurrence risks are challenging for sporadic cases.
