Background Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare congenital heart defect. Gene defections have been found in patients with LVNC and their family members; and  MYH7  is the most frequent gene associated with LVNC. Methods We performed a complete prenatal ultrasound and echocardiographic examination on a fetus with cardiac abnormality and a parent–child trio whole-exome sequencing to identify the potential genetic causes. When the genetic abnormality in MYH7 was identified in the fetus, we performed echocardiography and genetic screening on its high-risk relatives. Results Second trimester ultrasound and echocardiography showed several malformations in the fetus: Ebstein’s anomaly (EA), heart dilatation, perimembranous ventricle septal defects, mild seroperitoneum, and single umbilical artery. Heterozygous genotyping of a splicing variant allele (NM_00025.3: c.732+G&gt;A) was identified in this fetus and her mother, not her father, indicating a maternal inheritance. Subsequently, direct sequencing confirmed the presence of this splicing variant among her grandmother (mother of mother), mother, older sister, and herself in a heterozygous manner. No PCR products were amplified by qRT-PCR for the RNA samples extracted from peripheral blood cells. In addition to this proband who was diagnosed with EA, her older sister and grandmother (mother of mother) were diagnosed with isolated asymptomatic LVCN, but her mother was just a carrier with no marked clinical manifestations after family screening. Conclusion The presence of  MYH7  splicing variant c.732+G&gt;A can be inherited maternally, and its cardiac phenotypes are different from one carrier to another.
