Diseases Mimicking Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy on Echocardiography

Syndrome Gene(s) Gene symbol Locus Phenotype Inheritance
AMP kinase disease AMP-activated protein kinase PRKAG2 7q36.1 Cardiac hypertrophy, pre-excitation Autosomal dominant
Familial amyloid disease Transthyretin TTR 18q12.1 Low voltage, severe cardiac hypertrophy, paresthesias Autosomal dominant
Noonan syndrome Protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 11 (aka tyrosine phosphatase SHP2) PTPN11 12q24.1 Short stature, facial dysmorphology, congenital heart defects, cardiac hypertrophy, skeletal anomalies, bleeding disorders, learning disabilities (variable) Autosomal dominant
Son of sevenless homolog 1 SOS1 2p22.1
