Overview

The main cause of cardiac myxoma remains unknown. However, in some cases like inherited myxomatosis there is a strong relation with genetic mutations of PRKAR1A gene.

Causes

  • There are no established causes for cardiac myxoma.[1][2]
  • About 10% of cardiac myxomas are familial.
  • Inherited myxomatosis is caused by a mutation in the PRKAR1A gene.
