N2 - Two siblings presented with early lethal noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM). Both carry compound heterozygous variants in the ryanodine receptor gene (RYR2). Evolving animal and human data have begun to implicate a role for RYR2 dysfunction in the development of NCCM. The identified RYR2 variants are therefore likely causative for this early lethal NCCM phenotype. Further research is needed to understand the role of RYR2 in the heart compaction process.
