OBJECTIVE: To look for previously unrecognized cardiac structural abnormalities and address the genetic cause for sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS). METHODS: Data for 148 SUNDS victims and 444 controls (matched 1:3 on sex, race, and age of death within 1 year) were collected from Sun Yat-sen University from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2014, to search morphological changes. An additional 17 patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) collected from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2014, served as a comparative disease cohort. Target-captured next-generation sequencing for 80 genes associated with arrhythmia/cardiomyopathy was performed in 44 SUNDS victims and 17 patients with BrS to characterize the molecular spectrum. RESULTS: The SUNDS victims had slight but statistically significant increased heart weight and valve circumference compared with controls. Twelve of 44 SUNDS victims (SCN5A, SCN1B, CACNB2, CACNA1C, AKAP9, KCNQ1, KCNH2, KCNJ5, GATA4, NUP155, ABCC9) and 6 of 17 patients with BrS (SCN5A, CACNA1C; P>.05) carried rare variants in primary arrhythmia-susceptibility genes. Only 2 of 44 SUNDS cases compared with 5 of 17 patients with BrS hosted a rare variant in the most common BrS-causing gene, SCN5A (P=.01). Using the strict American College of Medical Genetics guideline-based definition, it was found that only 2 of 44 (KCNQ1) SUNDS and 3 of 17 (SCN5A) patients with BrS hosted a "(likely) pathogenic" variant. Fourteen of 44 SUNDS cases with cardiomyopathy-related variants had a subtle but significantly decreased circumference of cardiac valves, and tended to die on average 5 to 6 years younger compared with the remaining 30 cases (P=.02). CONCLUSION: We present the first comprehensive autopsy evidence that SUNDS victims may have concealed cardiac morphological changes. SUNDS and BrS may result from different molecular pathological underpinnings. The distinct association between cardiomyopathy-related rare variants and SUNDS warrants further investigation.
