New Delhi, Dec. 2 -- The Institute for Stem Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine (inStem) in Bengaluru recently published groundbreaking research in the Journal of the American Heart Association, revealing a unique genetic signature for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) among people of South Indian origin.

HCM is a serious condition characterized by the thickening of the heart muscle, often leading to heart failure or sudden cardiac death, as reported by Deccan Herald.

The study, which performed detailed genetic analysis on a cohort of 335 primary HCM patients from South India, found that the genetic landscape of this population is markedly different from that seen in European and American cohorts.
