Three novel beta cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) gene missense mutations, Phe513Cys, Gly716Arg, and Arg719Trp, which cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) are described. One mutation in exon 15 (Phe513Cys) does not alter the charge of the encoded amino acid, and affected family members have a near normal life expectancy. The Gly716Arg mutation (exon 19; charge change of +1) causes FHC in three family members, one of whom underwent transplantation for heart failure. The Arg719Trp mutation (exon 19; charge change of -1) was found in four unrelated FHC families with a high incidence of premature death and an average life expectancy in affected individuals of 38 yr. A comparable high frequency of disease-related deaths in four families with the Arg719Trp mutation suggests that this specific gene defect directly accounts for the observed malignant phenotype. Further, the significantly different life expectancies associated with the Arg719Trp vs. Phe513Cys mutation (P | 0.001) support the

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant myocardial disorder characterized by left ventricle hypertrophy with histological features of myocyte hypertrophy, myofibrillar disarray, and interstitial fibrosis. The disease has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations from a benign asymptomatic course to a malignant course with serious arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. One of the most common genetic causes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy involves mutations in cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) gene.

It has been demonstrated previously that clinical phenotypes of HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) caused by mutations in the cardiac MyBP-C (myosin-binding protein C) gene show late onset, low penetrance and favourable clinical course. However, we have encountered severe phenotypes in several carriers of the MyBP-C gene mutations. The aim of the present study was to screen novel MyBP-C gene mutations in patients with HCM and to investigate the genetic differences in affected subjects with severe phenotypes. The MyBP-C gene was screened in 292 Japanese probands with HCM, and a novel c.2067+1G→A mutation was present in 15 subjects in five families. Clinical phenotypes of carriers of the c.2067+1G→A mutation were compared with those of a previously identified Arg820Gln (Arg820→Gln) mutation in the MyBP-C gene. The disease penetrance in subjects aged ≥30 years was 90% in carriers of the c.2067+1G→A mutation and 61% in carriers of the Arg820Gln mutation. Sudden death occurred in four ...

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetically heterogeneous disease with variable clinical features that is inherited as autosomal dominant with variable penetrance. Recent developments in genetics of hereditary cardiomyopathy have not only enlightened many points about pathogenesis, but have also provided great benefit to diagnostic approaches of clinicians. Heterozygous mutation of c3691-3692insTTCA in MYBPC3 gene was identified in a pediatric patient with diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at clinic. Hypertrophy was observed in sister and father of the patient in echocardiography screening, and it was subsequently determined that they also had same mutation. This mutation has not previously been defined and reported previously in the literature as cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy..

MYBPC3 encodes the cardiac isoform of myosin-binding protein C. Myosin-binding protein C is a myosin-associated protein found in the cross-bridge-bearing zone (C region) of A bands in striated muscle. MYBPC3, the cardiac isoform, is expressed exclussively in heart muscle. MYBPC gene is linked to CMH4 and demonstrated a splice donor mutationin 1 family with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a duplication mutation in a second. Both mutations were predicted to disrupt the high-affinity, C-terminal myosin-binding domain of cardiac MyBP-C. Again, findings demonstrated that as in the case of the 3 forms that had been defined in molecular terms previously, familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease of the sarcomere.

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also known as FHC or HCM, is a rare condition best known publicly for its association with sudden death among young athletes. It is estimated that about 1 in 500 people have HCM and the associated thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophy). An irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) may lead to collapse and death during or after an athletic competition. There are usually no symptoms of a heart condition before the sudden collapse, which is also called sudden cardiac death or SCD. Fortunately, SCD occurs to a very small fraction of those carrying HCM mutations. Ordinary screening does not pick up this condition. A family history of sudden death before age 50 may be the only clue that a child or teenager needs a closer medical check before starting a sport. Most HCM appears to be inherited in a dominant fashion. Family members who carry the same genes may not have cardiac hypertrophy; those who do have hypertrophy can be treated clinically, and they will ...

The literature shows that genetic testing could stimulate solidarity among family members, but also lead to major conflicts. To prevent negative effects, clinical geneticists and ethicists have stressed the importance of good communication within families. In this qualitative study, we followed six extended families in the southern and eastern Netherlands involved in genetic testing for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy for three and a half years. In total 57 members of these families were interviewed in depth, most more than once. Our analysis shows that genetic testing does affect families, but that families perform a lot of balancing work in order to prevent genetic testing from becoming too all-encompassing. There is much more continuity in family life than is often thought. Moreover, as these families demonstrate different styles of family work, establishing a single norm of good communication in clinical genetics might in fact be more harmful for family life than genetic testing ...

Mutations in Mybpc3 encoding cardiac myosin-binding protein C cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which likely involves increased Ca2+ sensitivity as a major pathomechanism. High phenotypic variability in HCM patients suggests a need for studying mechanisms and individual expression of the disease in vitro. We recently developed an automated 24-well fibrin-based engineered heart tissue (EHT) assay that provides a robust readout of force, frequency and rhythm and could therefore be a suitable in vitro test bed. Here we generated EHT from neonatal heart cells from Mybpc3-knock-out (KO) or Mybpc3-knock-in (KI) mice and compared to wild-type EHT (WT). Both homozygous KI and KO mice develop marked left ventricular hypertrophy and reduced fractional shortening over time. Spontaneous contractile activity of EHT was monitored repeatedly over up to 33 days and in a final measurement under electrical stimulation (5-6 Hz) and different Ca2+ concentrations. KO EHT (n=40) developed higher force and ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disease, which affects the structure of heart muscle tissue. The clinical symptoms include arrhythmias, progressive heart failure, and even sudden cardiac death but the mutation carrier can also be totally asymptomatic. To date, over 1400 mutations have been linked to HCM, mostly in genes encoding for sarcomeric proteins. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease are still largely unknown. Two founder mutations for HCM in Finland are located in myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3-Gln1061X) and α-tropomyosin (TPM1-Asp175Asn) genes. We studied the properties of HCM cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying either MYBPC3-Gln1061X or TPM1-Asp175Asn mutation. Both types of HCM-CMs displayed pathological phenotype of HCM but, more importantly, we found differences between CMs carrying either MYBPC3-Gln1061X or TPM1-Asp175Asn gene mutation in their cellular size, Ca2+ ...

METHODS AND RESULTS We studied eight unrelated families of varied ethnic origins across the United States. DNA from each individual was digested with restriction enzymes TaqI or BamHI and analyzed by Southern blots followed by hybridization with probes T cell receptor alpha (TCRA), myosin heavy chain beta, D14S25, and D14S26. Multipoint linkage analysis showed a maximum lod score of 4.3, placing the locus 10 cM from D14S26 between D14S26 and TCRA, with an odds ratio of 20,000:1 and 90% confidence limits of 12 cM proximal to D14S25 to 4 cM distal to TCRA. The probability of linkage to 14q1 was more than 99%. ...

The UNC-45 chaperone protein interacts with and affects the folding, stability, and the ATPase activity of myosins. It plays a critical role in the cardiomyopathy development and in the breast cancer tumor growth. Here we propose the first structural model of the UNC-45-myosin complex using various in silico methods. Initially, the human UNC-45B binding epitope was identified and the protein was docked to the cardiac myosin (MYH7) motor domain. The final UNC45B-MYH7 structure was obtained by performing of total 630 ns molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate a complex formation, which is mainly stabilized by electrostatic interactions. Remarkably, the contact surface area is similar to that of the myosin-actin complex. A significant interspecies difference in the myosin binding epitope is observed. Our results reveal the structural basis of MYH7 exons 15-16 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutations and provide directions for drug targeting ...

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary disease of the sarcomere. The R403Q mutation resides at the actin-interaction site on myosin and leads to progressive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which progresses towards heart failure. Along with deteriorating cardiac function, these hearts experience an overall change in metabolic landscape, suggesting altered energetic function in hearts that express the R403Q mutation. We tested the hypothesis that the R403Q mutation intrinsically increases the energetic cost of contraction. To do this, we determined myofilament function in demembranated cardiac trabeculae from male wild-type (WT) and R403Q mice at 2 months of age, prior to overt signs of cardiac pathology. Firstly, steady-state Ca2+ sensitivity of force generation was not significantly different between male R403Q (n=4) and WT counterparts (n=2) consistent with previous findings. Secondly, the rate of force redevelopment (ktr) in skinned cardiac tissue was measured following unloaded ...

Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young individuals. Molecular mechanisms underlying this disorder are largely unknown; this study aims at revealing how disruptions in actin-myosin interactions can play a role in the pathogenesis of this disorder. Cross-bridge (XB) kinetics and the degree of order were examined in contracting myofibrils from the ex vivo ventricles of transgenic (Tg) mice expressing FHC regulatory light chain (RLC) mutation K104E and Troponin I mutation, R21C. Because the degree of order and the kinetics are best studied when an individual XB makes a significant contribution to the overall signal, the number of observed XBs in an ex vivo ventricle was minimized to 20. Autofluorescence and photobleaching were minimized by using a relatively long-lived red-emitting dye. In case of K104E, mutated XBs were significantly better ordered during steady-state contraction and during rigor, but the mutation had no effect on the degree of

0002] Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an often fatal but manageable disease. The incidence is reported to be about 1/400 (approximately 750,000) in the general U.S. population. The variable expressivity of this disease suggests it may be higher, making HCM the most common monogenic cardiac disorder in the U.S. Macon and McKenna et al., ACC/ESC Expert Consensus Document on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, J of American College of Cardiology (2003) 42: 1-27. In addition, it is the most frequent cause of unexpected sudden death in teenagers and young adults. Elliott, Poloniecki et al., Sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Identification of high risk patients, J of American College of Cardiology (2000) 36: 2212-2218. The disease is characterized by a thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophy) in the absence of hypertension or any other apparent cause. HCM is difficult to diagnose. Clinical presentation and progression of HCM varies widely among affected patients and the symptoms ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs as an autosomal dominant familial disorder or as a sporadic disease without familial involvement. While missense mutations in the beta cardiac myosin heavy chain (MHC) gene account for approximately half of all cases of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the molecular causes of sporadic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are unknown. To determine whether beta cardiac MHC mutations are also associated with sporadic disease, we screened this gene in seven individuals with sporadic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mutations in the beta cardiac MHC genes were identified in two probands with sporadic disease. In that their parents were neither clinically nor genetically affected, we conclude that mutations in each proband arose de novo. Transmission of the mutation and disease to an offspring occurred in one pedigree, predicting that these are germline mutations. The demonstration of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy arising within a pedigree coincident with the appearance of a ...

Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125), known as a tumor marker for ovarian cancer, has been reported to increase and relate to severity in heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has a wide clinical spectrum that often includes heart failure symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CA 125 in HCM patients, its relation to severity of symptoms, and degree of diastolic dysfunction. CA 125 blood levels were determined in 32 HCM patients (21 male; age 51.3 +/- 18.4 years) and in 30 healthy volunteers (19 male; age 49.6 +/- 16.1 years). Echocardiographic examinations were performed in all patients. The results were grouped according to clinical status (New York Heart Association class) of the patients. The mean serum level of CA 125 was 14.6 +/- 23.8 U/ml in the study group and 7.6 +/- 4.8U/ml in the control group. There was no significant difference between the groups (P = 0.12). CA 125 levels increased as the New York Heart Association ...

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCOM) is known as a familial genetic disorder. The most potent risk factor in the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy aregenetic mutations in Beta-myosin heavy chain, Myosin binding protein C, and Cardiac troponin T. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy include but not limited to MYH7, TNNT2, TPM1. However, hypertension, thyroid disease, diabetes, and obesity also play a role in non obstructive forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is in response to chronic effects of abnormal pressure and volumes on the myocardium and is different from apical hypertrophy (Yamaguchi syndrome). ...

RATIONALE: Most sarcomere gene mutations that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are missense alleles that encode dominant negative proteins. The potential exceptions are mutations in the MYBPC3 gene (encoding cardiac myosin-binding protein-C [MyBP-C]), which frequently encode truncated proteins. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether there was evidence of haploinsufficiency in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by MYBPC3 mutations by comparing left ventricular muscle from patients undergoing surgical myectomy with samples from donor hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS: MyBP-C protein and mRNA levels were quantitated using immunoblotting and RT-PCR. Nine of 37 myectomy samples had mutations in MYBPC3: 2 missense alleles (Glu258Lys, Arg502Trp) and 7 premature terminations. No specific truncated MyBP-C peptides were detected in whole muscle homogenates of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy tissue. However, the overall level of MyBP-C in myofibrils was significantly reduced (P|0.0005) in tissue containing either a

TNNI3 patients may show pure RCM and HCM with or without restrictive pattern. Different phenotypes may coexist in the same family [4,8,9]. In the present family, as in other families observed in our centre with TNNI3-related cardiomyopathy, only the presence of a pure RCM without conduction disease in at least one member of the family seems to predict mutations of this gene. Differential clinical diagnosis includes pure restrictive phenotype caused by mutations of the Desmin gene, which are however characterized by the presence of atrioventricular block preceding the onset of restrictive haemodynamics and in some case, of clinically overt myopathy or increased sCPK.

Compared to men, women with a hereditary heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are substantially more likely to be diagnosed later in life and with more severe symptoms, an Italian study indicates. This occurs despite the fact that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should theoretically be present in males and females equally, Dr. Iacopo Olivotto commented to Reuters Health, because it is a genetic disease with an inheritance pattern that requires only one parent to have the condition. People with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) suffer from progressive weakening of the heart, which becomes enlarged in an attempt to compensate ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the commonest inherited cardiovascular disorder with a prevalence of one in 500 in the general population. It is believed to be a disease of the cardiac sarcomere and is caused by a variety of mutations in genes responsible for sarcomeric contractile proteins. It is characterised macroscopically by myocardial hypertrophy and microscopically by myocyte fibrosis and disarray. Most patients tend to present with functional limitation and symptoms such as palpitation, chest pain or syncope. The underlying mechanisms involved are complex, multiple and not yet fully understood. Further clarification of these mechanisms may enable improvements in current symptom control or the development of new avenues of therapy. A small but significant proportion of patients suffer sudden cardiac death and this can be the initial presentation of the condition. In fact, HCM is the commonest cause of sudden death among individuals below the age of 30 years. The identification of ...

Background - Our knowledge of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) mainly originates from quarternary centres. The objective is to assess the current management of HCM patients in a large multicentre French register according to the level of expertise. Methods and results - A total of 1431 HCM patients were recruited across 26 (11 expert and 15 non-expert) centres in REMY, a prospective hospital-based register of adult HCM patients. A sarcomeric origin was suspected in 1284 (89.7%) patients [261 (20.3%) with a reported gene mutation, 242 (18.8%) genotype-negative], while 107 (7.5%) had a diagnosis of non-sarcomeric HCM. Patients managed in non-expert centres were older (P | 0.01) and presented more often with NYHA III/IV class dyspnoea (P | 0.01), congestive heart failure (P | 0.01), low LEVF (P | 0.01), less often with a syncope history (P | 0.01) and lower LV obstruction (P | 0.01) than patients in expert centres.
