We aim to advance our understandings of the genetics of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) by gathering a much larger number of DCM families for study.

The DCM Consortium was created as a new initiative of the DCM Research Project to achieve this purpose. Expanded by Dr. Ray Hershberger from 2012 to 2014 at The Ohio State University, the DCM Consortium successfully completed in early 2015 for National Institute of Health (NIH) support for the Precision Medicine Study, which completed the enrollment of more than 3000 participants April 1, 2021 with a goal to enrolling up to 10,000 participant families.

At The Ohio State University, through reflection, evaluation and meaningful action, we aim to reinforce our ethical culture and live shared values to advance our core work of teaching, learning, research and service.

Our shared values are : Excellence and Impact, Diversity and Innovation, Inclusion and Equity, Care and Compassion and Integrity and Respect.
