β-MHC, β-myosin heavy chain gene; BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; LA, left atrial; LVMI, left ventricular mass index; MyBPC, cardiac myosin binding protein C gene; non-penetrant, genetically affected but no left ventricular hypertrophy; penetrant, genetically affected with left ventricular hypertrophy.
