Depends on the gene: Different gene mutations have different degrees of penetrance. Some manifest early in life such as Beta myosin heavy chain and others later. Family history is a strong predictor of disease so if you have no family history ofHCM and at your age you have no sign of disease your chances of having the disease is low
