With respect to the cytoskeleton, disruption of the non-sarcomeric actin linkage at the intercalated discs via overexpressing the VASP-EHV1 domain is sufficient to cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies a Novel Mutation (p.L320R) of Alpha-Actinin 2 in a Chinese Family with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Tachycardia.
Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel mutation (c.333 + 2T > C) of TNNI3K in a Chinese family with dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiac conduction disease.
Whole exome sequencing identified 1 base pair novel deletion in BCL2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gene associated with severe dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) requiring heart transplant in multiple family members.
While recessive mutations in δ-sarcoglycan cause limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2F, dominant mutations in δ-sarcoglycan have been linked to inherited dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
What is unclear is the extent to which these alterations, which attenuate receptor-stimulated cAMP generation, contribute to the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy and the extent to which they constitute a beneficial compensatory response.
Western blotting revealed that Ufl1 (Ufm1-specific E3 ligase 1)-an enzyme essential for Ufm1 modification-was increased in hypertrophic mouse hearts but reduced in the failing hearts of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

We validated the same circRNA dynamics for circRNAs from ATXN10, CHD7, DNAJC6 and SLC8A1 in biopsy material from human dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and control patients.
