RESUMEN

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a disorder with variable expression caused by framedisrupting mutations in the dystrophin gene. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and dilated cardiomyopathy. In-frame dystrophin mutations cause a clinically moderate disorder named Becker muscular dystrophy. Our aim was to study the clinical and genetic characteristics of a family with inherited cardiomyopathy and Becker muscular dystrophy. The index case was diagnosed with psychomotor retardation at 5 years of age. Asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and a long QT interval were evidenced at the age of 12. Mild muscular weakness was developed subsequently. Three genetic variants were identified in the index case: p.Arg891Alafs*160 in the MYBPC3 gene, p.Thr263Met in the KCNJ5 gene, and p.Ser2437_Ile2554delinsPhe in the DMD gene. The latter was expected to generate an in-frame deletion of exons 51 and 52 of the dystrophin gene. A family study revealed that the father and 3 uncles were carriers of the MYBPC3 mutation. The mother and a maternal grandfather were carriers of the other 2 variants. The 80-year-old grandfather, who had the dystrophin mutation, showed no sign of cardiomyopathy or muscular weakness. The deletion of exons 51 and 52 in the DMD gene, which has been proposed as one of the therapeutic strategies for Duchenne, is consistent with a normal life expectancy and the absence of myopathic symptoms in hemizygous males.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disorder with variable expression. It is mainly caused by mutations in sarcomeric genes but the phenotype could be modulated by other factors. The aim of this study was to determine whether factors such as sex, systemic hypertension, or physical activity are modifiers of disease severity and to establish their role in age-related penetrance of HCM. METHODS: We evaluated 272 individuals (mean age 49 ± 17 years, 57% males) from 72 families with causative mutations. The relationship between sex, hypertension, physical activity, and left ventricular hypertrophy was studied. RESULTS: The proportion of affected individuals increased with age. Men developed the disease 12.5 years earlier than women (adjusted median, 95%CI, -17.52 to -6.48; P < .001). Hypertensive patients were diagnosed with HCM later (10.8 years of delay) than normotensive patients (adjusted median, 95%CI, 6.28-17.09; P < .001). Individuals who performed physical activity were diagnosed with HCM significantly earlier (7.3 years, adjusted median, 95%CI, -14.49 to -1.51; P = .016). Sex, hypertension, and the degree of physical activity were not significantly associated with the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy. Adjusted survival both free from sudden death and from the combined event were not influenced by any of the exploratory variables. CONCLUSIONS: Men and athletes who are carriers of sarcomeric mutations are diagnosed earlier than women and sedentary individuals. Hypertensive carriers of sarcomeric mutations have a delayed diagnosis. Sex, hypertension, and physical activity are not associated with disease severity in carriers of HCM causative mutations.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The genetic cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains unexplained in a substantial proportion of cases. Formin homology 2 domain containing 3 (FHOD3) may have a role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy but has not been implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to investigate the relation between FHOD3 mutations and the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. METHODS: FHOD3 was sequenced by massive parallel sequencing in 3,189 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy unrelated probands and 2,777 patients with no evidence of cardiomyopathy (disease control subjects). The authors evaluated protein-altering candidate variants in FHOD3 for cosegregation, clinical characteristics, and outcomes. RESULTS: The authors identified 94 candidate variants in 132 probands. The variants' frequencies were significantly higher in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (74 of 3,189 [2.32%]) than in disease control subjects (18 of 2,777 [0.65%]; p < 0.001) or in the gnomAD database (1,049 of 138,606 [0.76%]; p < 0.001). FHOD3 mutations cosegregated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 17 families, with a combined logarithm of the odds score of 7.92, indicative of very strong segregation. One-half of the disease-causing variants were clustered in a small conserved coiled-coil domain (amino acids 622 to 655); odds ratio for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was 21.8 versus disease control subjects (95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 37.9; p < 0.001) and 14.1 against gnomAD (95% confidence interval: 6.9 to 28.7; p < 0.001). Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients carrying (likely) pathogenic mutations in FHOD3 (n = 70) were diagnosed after age 30 years (mean 46.1 ± 18.7 years), and two-thirds (66%) were males. Of the patients, 82% had asymmetric septal hypertrophy (mean 18.8 ± 5 mm); left ventricular ejection fraction <50% was present in 14% and hypertrabeculation in 16%. Events were rare before age 30 years, with an annual cardiovascular death incidence of 1% during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: FHOD3 is a novel disease gene in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, accounting for approximately 1% to 2% of cases. The phenotype and the rate of cardiovascular events are similar to those reported in unselected cohorts. The FHOD3 gene should be routinely included in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy genetic testing panels.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Mutations in MYBPC3 are the cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most lead to a truncating protein, the severity of the phenotype differs. We describe the clinical phenotype of a novel MYBPC3 mutation, p.Pro108Alafs*9, present in 13 families from southern Spain and compare it with the most prevalent MYBPC3 mutation in this region (c.2308+1 G>A). METHODS: We studied 107 relatives of 13 index cases diagnosed as HCM carriers of the p.Pro108Alafs*9 mutation. Pedigree analysis, clinical evaluation, and genotyping were performed. RESULTS: A total of 54 carriers of p.Pro108Alafs*9 were identified, of whom 39 had HCM. There were 5 cases of sudden death in the 13 families. Disease penetrance was greater as age increased and HCM patients were more frequently male and developed disease earlier than female patients. The phenotype was similar in p.Pro108Alafs*9 and in c.2308+1 G>A, but differences were found in several risk factors and in survival. There was a trend toward a higher left ventricular mass in p.Pro108Alafs*9 vs c.2308+1G>A. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed a similar extent and pattern of fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS: The p.Pro108Alafs*9 mutation is associated with HCM, high penetrance, and disease onset in middle age.

RESUMEN

Introducción y objetivos: La miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH) es una enfermedad con expresión variable, causada principalmente por mutaciones en genes sarcoméricos, aunque otros factores podrían estar modulando el fenotipo. El objetivo es determinar si el sexo, la hipertensión arterial o la actividad física son moduladores de la gravedad de la enfermedad y establecer su papel en la penetrancia en relación con la edad al diagnóstico de la MCH. Métodos: Se evaluó a 272 individuos (media de edad, 49 ± 17 años; el 57% varones) procedentes de 72 familias con mutación causal y se estudió la relación del sexo, la hipertensión y la actividad física con la hipertrofia ventricular izquierda. Resultados: La proporción de afectados aumenta con la edad. Se diagnosticó a los varones una mediana ajustada de 12,5 años (IC95%, -17,52 a -6,48; p < 0,001) antes que a las mujeres. A los pacientes hipertensos, se les diagnosticó MCH una mediana ajustada de 10,8 años (IC95%, 6,28-17,09; p < 0,001) más tarde que a los normotensos. A los individuos que hacían ejercicio, se los diagnosticó significativamente antes (mediana ajustada, 7,3 años; IC95%, -14,49 a -1,51; p = 0,016). El sexo, la hipertensión y el ejercicio no resultaron significativamente asociados con la gravedad de la hipertrofia del ventrículo izquierdo. Los factores explorados no influyen en la supervivencia ajustada libre de muerte súbita y el evento combinado. Conclusiones: Se diagnostica a los varones y los deportistas portadores de mutaciones sarcoméricas antes que a las mujeres y los individuos sedentarios. Los portadores de mutaciones sarcoméricas hipertensos tienen un retraso en el diagnóstico. El sexo, la hipertensión y el ejercicio no se asocian con la gravedad de la enfermedad en portadores de mutaciones causales de MCH (AU)

RESUMEN

Introducción y objetivos: Las mutaciones en MYBPC3 son causa de miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH). A pesar de que la mayoría de ellas producen una proteína truncada, la gravedad del fenotipo es diversa. Se describe el fenotipo clínico de una nueva mutación en MYBPC3, p.Pro108Alafs*9, presente en 13 familias del sur de España, y se compara con la mutación de MYBPC3 con mayor prevalencia en dicha región (c.2308 + 1 G > A). Métodos: Se estudió a 107 familiares de 13 casos índice que tenían diagnóstico de MCH y portaban la mutación p.Pro108Alafs*9. Se realizó un análisis del árbol genealógico, junto con una evaluación clínica y determinación del genotipo. Resultados: Se identificó en total a 54 portadores de la mutación p.Pro108Alafs*9, de los que 39 tenían MCH. Hubo 5 casos de muerte súbita en las 13 familias. La penetrancia de la enfermedad aumentaba a medida que se incrementaba la edad, y los pacientes con MCH fueron con más frecuencia varones, y estos contrajeron la enfermedad más precozmente que las mujeres. El fenotipo fue similar en la p.Pro108Alafs*9 y la c.2308 + 1 G > A, pero se observaron diferencias en varios factores de riesgo y en la supervivencia. Hubo tendencia a mayor masa ventricular izquierda en la p.Pro108Alafs*9 que en la c.2308 + 1G > A. La resonancia magnética cardiaca reveló una extensión y un patrón de fibrosis similares en ambas. Conclusiones: La mutación p.Pro108Alafs*9 se asoció a MCH, alta penetrancia y aparición de la enfermedad a mediana edad (AU)

RESUMEN

The information available on the correlation between genotype and phenotype and the prognostic implications of different troponin-T gene mutations is sparse and, at times, contradictory. We studied the TNNT2 gene in 127 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and identified three mutations in patients from four families (3.1%): the Phe87Leu mutation, which has not been previously reported, the Arg278Cys mutation (two families) and the Asp271Ile mutation. Seven carriers of the Phe87Leu mutation (aged 29 to 52 years) were found to have mild hypertrophy (i.e., a wall thickness <16 mm). There were 11 deaths associated with the condition (seven sudden deaths), and four of those who died were aged between 14 and 16 years. No sudden deaths occurred in the other three families. In conclusion, troponin-T mutations were responsible for 3% of the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cases in our study population. The Phe87Leu mutation was associated with only mild hypertrophy but with a high risk of sudden death.

RESUMEN

La información sobre las relaciones genotipo-fenotipo y el pronóstico de las diferentes mutaciones en el gen de la troponina T es escasa y en ocasiones contradictoria. Se realizó estudio del gen TNNT2 en 127 pacientes con miocardiopatía hipertrófica (MCH), identificándose 3 mutaciones en 4 familias (3,1%): Phe87Leu, no descrita, Arg 278Cys (2 familias) y Asp271Ile. Se identificaron 7 portadores de Phe87Leu (29 a 52 años) con hipertrofia leve (grosor < 16 mm). Hubo 11 muertes relacionadas con la enfermedad (7 de ellas súbitas), con 4 de los fallecidos entre 14 y 16 años de edad. No hubo muertes súbitas en las otras 3 familias. En conclusión, las mutaciones en el gen de la troponina T son responsables de un 3% de casos de MCH en nuestra población. La mutación Phe87-Leu se asocia a hipertrofia de grado leve y alto riesgo de muerte súbita (AU)
