What Is The Possible Diagnosis Of A Four Year Old Who Have Inherited Heart Problem From His Father?

Probably not your most important question... I am writing a book with a mother who has a 4 year old boy with a heart condition. I need a diagnosis which he has inherited from his father (father always knew his heart may give out) that can be treated with transplant. I work in cancer research (specializing in HPB, colorectal, and breast) so if you can point me toward a possible diagnosis, I can research it from there. Thanks in advance.
