I'm adopted. Can I find out if I'm at risk from a DNA mapping service like 23andme?

  > it can be detected via ultrasound and treated pharmacologically or interventionally To me that sounds like a more reliable way to find out.

  Prevalence is 200 per 100k so you’re almost certainly not affected. If you want to be sure a routine ECG and a trans thoracic ultrasound usually is sufficient to diagnose / exclude cardiac myopathy. 23andme doesn’t even look at the whole genome, they just look for common disease associated polymorphisms. No way of telling if you have a mutation that’s not in their database and even if you have a mutation it could be deactivated epigenetically or other factors could lead to you not suffering the disease.
