infantile histiocytoid Cardiomyopathy

A rare cardiomyopathy with onset usually before age 2; generally, more females are affected than males. It is characterized by the presence of pale granular foamy cells that resemble HISTIOCYTES within the MYOCARDIUM. Infants present with sudden onset dysrhythmia or cardiac arrest, similar to SIDS. It may be associated with mutations in the electron transport complex III, cytochrome b (MTCYB) gene. OMIM: 500000
