ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Evidence on the relative impact of diverse genetic backgrounds associated with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains contradictory. This study sought to synthesize the available data regarding long-term outcomes of different gene groups in DCM. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Electronic databases were systematically screened to identify studies reporting prognostic data on pre-specified gene groups. Those included pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants, truncating titin variants (TTNtv), lamin A/C variants (LMNA), and desmosomal proteins. Outcomes were divided into composite adverse events (CAEs), malignant ventricular arrhythmic events (MVAEs) and heart failure events (HFEs). A total of 26 studies (n = 7255) were included in the meta-analysis and 6791 patients with genotyped DCM were analysed. Patients with P/LP variants had a higher risk for CAEs (odds ratio [OR] 2.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.67-2.65), MVAEs (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.52-2.26), and HFEs (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.08-3.73) than genotype-negative patients. The presence of TTNtv was linked to a higher risk for CAEs (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.20-2.63), but not MVAEs or HFEs. LMNA and desmosomal groups suffered a higher risk for CAEs, MVAEs, and HFEs compared to non-LMNA and non-desmosomal groups, respectively. When genes were indirectly compared, the presence of LMNA resulted in a more detrimental effect that TTNtv, with respect to all composite outcomes but no significant difference was found between LMNA and desmosomal genes. Desmosomal genes harboured a higher risk for MVAEs compared to TTNtv.CONCLUSIONS:
Different genetic substrates associated with DCM result in divergent natural histories. Routine utilization of genetic testing should be employed to refine risk stratification and inform therapeutic strategies in DCM.
