Worse prognosis with gene mutations of beta-myosin heavy chain than myosin-binding protein C in Chinese patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND: No data are available on survival analysis and longitudinal evolution of patients with gene mutations of beta-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) and myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) in Chinese. HYPOTHESIS: To prospectively investigate whether different gene mutations confer distinct prognosis. METHODS: We performed a prospective study in 70 HCM patients and 46 genetically affected family members without HCM-phenotype with direct DNA sequencing of MYH7 and MYBPC3, clinical assessments, and 5.8 +/- 1.8 years follow-up. RESULTS: After follow-up, more surgical intervention (8/52 versus 0/18, p < 0.001), higher sudden death risk (7/52 versus 0/18, p < 0.001) and shorter life span were found in patients with MYH7 mutations than in patients with MYBPC3 mutations (45.1 +/- 14.0 versus 73.5 +/- 7.5 years, p = 0.03). Seven of the 27 mutation carriers of MYH7 had clinical presentations of HCM, but no carriers of MYBPC3 mutations developed to HCM during follow-up. Maximal wall thickness was thicker in the patients carrying mutations in the global region of MYH7 than in those carrying mutations in the rod region of MYH7 (21.5 +/- 6.6 versus 15 +/- 6.1 mm, p < 0.05) at baseline. More sudden death (7/41 versus 0/11) and left ventricular dysfunction (NYHA Class III approximately IV, 17/32 versus 1/10) were identified in patients with mutations in the global region of MYH7 than in patients with other mutations. CONCLUSIONS: MYH7 mutations, especially in the global region, cause malignant clinical phenotypes.     

Novel deletions in MYH7 and MYBPC3 identified in Indian families with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Mutations causing familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have been described in at least 11 genes encoding cardiac sarcomeric proteins. In this study, three previously unknown deletions have been identified in the human cardiac genes coding for beta-myosin heavy chain (MYH7 on chromosome 14) and myosin-binding protein-C (MYBPC3 on chromosome 11). In family MM, a 3-bp deletion in MYH7 was detected to be associated with loss of glutamic acid in position 927 (DeltaE927) of the myosin rod. In two other families (HH and NP, related by a common founder) a 2-bp loss in codon 453 (exon 16) of MYBPC3 was identified as the presumable cause of a translation reading frame shift. Taken together 15 living mutation carriers were investigated. Six deceased family members (with five cases of premature sudden cardiac death (SCD) in families MM and NP) were either obligate or suspected mutation carriers. In addition to these mutations a 25-bp deletion in intron 32 of MYBPC3 was identified in family MM (five carriers) and in a fourth family (MiR, one HCM patient, three deletion carriers). In agreement with the loss of the regular splicing branch point in the altered intron 32, a splicing deficiency was observed in an exon trapping experiment using MYBPC3 exon 33 as a test substrate. Varying disease profiles assessed using standard clinical, ECG and echocardiographic procedures in conjunction with mutation analysis led to the following conclusions: (1) In family MM the DeltaE927 deletion in MYH7 was assumed to be associated with complete penetrance. Two cases of reported SCD might have been related to this mutation. (2) The two families, HH and NP, distantly related by a common founder, and both suffering from a 2-bp deletion in exon 16 of MYBPC3 differed in their average phenotypes. In family NP, four cases of cardiac death were documented, whereas no cardiac-related death was reported from family HH. These results support the notion that mutations in HCM genes may directly determine disease penetrance and severity; however, a contribution of additional, unidentified factors (genes) to the HCM phenotype can-at least in some cases-not be excluded. (3) The deletion in intron 32 of MYBPC3 was seen in two families, but in both its relation to disease was not unequivocal. In addition, this deletion was observed in 16 of 229 unrelated healthy individuals of the population of the South Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It was not seen in 270 Caucasians from Russia and western Europe. Hence, it is considered to represent a regional genetic polymorphism restricted to southern India. The association of the deletion with altered splicing in transfected cells suggests that this deletion may create a "modifying gene", which is per se not or only rarely causing HCM, but which may enhance the phenotype of a mutation responsible for disease.     

家族性肥厚型心肌病MYH7基因突变的筛查与分析

目的 研究家族性肥厚型心肌病(hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,HCM)的主要致病基因β肌球蛋白重链(beta-myosin heavy chain gene,MYH7)突变,并分析基因型与表型的关系.方法 对3个HCM家系成员的MYH7基因3～23号外显子及附近上下游序列采用DHPLC及直接测序分析.结果 在其中一个家系中发现MYH7基因14号外显子中存在Thr441Met突变,该突变曾经在一莱恩远端肌病患者中发现,而在中国人中是首次发现.另外两个家系也发现有不同位点的突变.结论 MYH7基因在HCM家系中具有较高的突变率,不同突变基因型以及基因突变携带个体在临床表型上有所差异.采取基因突变检测和分析,有利于HCM家族成员的诊断、患病风险预测及疾病早期预防和治疗.

Abstract：

Objective To detect gene mutations on beta-myosin heavy chain gene MYH7 in 3 Chinese families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HCM), and to analyze the correlation between genotype and phenotype. Methods A denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and sequencing mutation screening of the exons ( exon3-23 ) coding for MYH7 gene were performed in 3 Chinese families with HCM. Results In this study, we identified several mutations in MYHT. A mutation of Thr441 Met previously reported in a patient with Laing distal myopathy was first identified in one Chinese pedigree. Conclusion This study illustrated the high frequency of mutation in MYH7 gene in Chinese HCM families. Different mutations and carriers of the MYH7 gene present phenotypic heterogeneity. Mutation screening and analysis in HCM family could therefore facilitate the early HCM diagnosis and would be helpful for the prediction, prevention and early treatment of HCM linked with MYH7 gene mutation.

Two novel mutations of the MYBPC3 gene identified in Chinese families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND:

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most common genetic cardiovascular disorders. Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene are one of the most frequent genetic causes of HCM.

OBJECTIVES:

To screen MYBPC3 gene mutations in Chinese patients with HCM, and analyze the correlation between the genotype and the phenotype.

METHODS:

The 35 exons of the MYBPC3 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction in the 11 consecutive unrelated Chinese pedigrees. The sequences of the products were analyzed and the mutation sites were determined. The clinical data of genotype-positive families were collected, and the correlation between genotype and phenotype was analyzed.

RESULTS:

Two mutations of the MYBPC3 gene were confirmed among 11 pedigrees. A frameshift mutation (Pro459fs) was identified in exon 17 in family H8, and a splice mutation (IVS5+5G→C) was identified in intron 5 in family H3. These two mutations were first identified in Chinese patients with familial HCM and were absent in 110 chromosomes of healthy controls. Seven known polymorphisms were found in the cohort.

CONCLUSIONS:

Compared with what was reported abroad, the MYBPC3 gene is a common pathogenic gene responsible for HCM in Chinese patients, and the phenotypes of these two mutations in their respective families may have their own clinical characteristics.
