ABSTRACT
We report a family with 2 neonatal deaths related to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and compound heterozygous loss-of-function variants (c.1243_1244del, p.Leu415Valfs*108 and c.1537C > T, p.Arg513*) in Leiomodin 2 (LMOD2), a recently documented cause of early DCM. The phenotype in mice and humans consists of early, severe cardiac dilation and dysfunction related to decreased functional LMOD2, which results in abnormal actin filaments and abnormal myocardial contractility. Our cases confirm mutations in LMOD2 as a cause of DCM in humans and highlight the rapid changes occurring in cardiac genetics and the importance of reviewing previously negative genetic test results in the context of emerging literature.
Notre compte rendu concerne une famille dont deux nouveau-nés sont décédés des suites d'une cardiomyopathie dilatée (CMD) et qui présentaient une perte hétérozygote composite de variants fonctionnels (c.1243_1244del, p.Leu415Valfs*108 et c.1537C > T, p.Arg513*) du gène Leiomodin 2 (LMOD2), une cause récemment avérée de CMD précoce. Chez la souris et l'humain, le phénotype de cette anomalie consiste en une dilatation et une dysfonction cardiaques sévères précoces liées à une diminution de la fonction du gène LMOD2 entraînant des anomalies dans les filaments d'actine et la contractilité du myocarde. Nos cas permettent de confirmer que les mutations du gène LMOD2 sont une cause de CMD chez l'humain. Ils mettent en évidence les modifications rapides se produisant dans la génétique cardiaque et l'importance de revoir les résultats négatifs d'anciens tests génétiques à la lumière des nouvelles données publiées.
