Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy and is classically caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (P/LP) in genes encoding sarcomere proteins. Not all subclinical variant carriers will manifest clinically overt disease because penetrance (proportion of sarcomere or sarcomere-related P/LP variant carriers who develop disease) is variable, age dependent, and not reliably predicted. METHODS A systematic search of the literature was performed. We used random-effects generalized linear mixed model meta-analyses to contrast the cross-sectional prevalence and penetrance of sarcomere or sarcomere-related genes in 2 different contexts: clinically-based studies on patients and families with HCM versus population or community-based studies. Longitudinal family/clinical studies were additionally analyzed to investigate the rate of phenotypic conversion from subclinical to overt HCM during follow-up. RESULTS In total, 455 full-text manuscripts and articles were assessed. In family/clinical studies, the prevalence of sarcomere variants in patients diagnosed with HCM was 34%. The penetrance across all genes in nonproband relatives carrying P/LP variants identified during cascade screening was 57% (95% CI, 52%-63%), and the mean age at HCM diagnosis was 38 years (95% CI, 36%-40%). Penetrance varied from ≈32% for MYL3 (myosin light chain 3) to ≈55% for MYBPC3 (myosin-binding protein C3), ≈60% for TNNT2 (troponin T2) and TNNI3 (troponin I3), and ≈65% for MYH7 (myosin heavy chain 7). Population-based genetic studies demonstrate that P/LP sarcomere variants are present in the background population but at a low prevalence of <1%. The penetrance of HCM in incidentally identified P/LP variant carriers was also substantially lower at ≈11%, ranging from 0% in Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities to 18% in UK Biobank. In longitudinal family studies, the pooled phenotypic conversion across all genes was 15% over an average of ≈8 years of follow-up, starting from a mean of ≈16 years of age. However, short-term gene-specific phenotypic conversion varied between ≈12% for MYBPC3 and ≈23% for MYH7. CONCLUSIONS The penetrance of P/LP variants is highly variable and influenced by currently undefined and context-dependent genetic and environmental factors. Additional longitudinal studies are needed to improve our understanding of true lifetime penetrance in families and in the community and to identify drivers of the transition from subclinical to overt HCM.

Abstract
The review analyzes variability of clinical manifestations of p.Arg870His in the MYH7 gene, which is repeatedly registered in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The analysis involves the data from scientific publications obtained as a search result in the PubMed, СlinVar, and eLibrary.ru databases, as well as authors’ own results. A wide range of phenotypic manifestations have been revealed in carriers of p.Arg870His, from the asymptomatic to severe course, rapid progression, and early death. The review considers possible factors that modify the effect of the pathogenic variant (i.e. dosage of the pathogenic variant, the presence of other unfavorable genetic variants, etc.). The importance of accumulating information on the clinical features of HCM in the carriers of specific gene variants is emphasized in order to clarify their pathogenicity and to identify factors modifying the clinical outcome, which is important for the choice of the treatment strategy for HCM.

Abstract
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by mutations in genes encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of FHCM. In the present study, we aimed to determine the miRNA profile in FHCM patients with myosin-binding protein C3 (MYBPC3) gene mutations. We recruited three FHCM patients and age- and sex-matched controls. The three probands all had hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with severe myocardial hypertrophy, and two of the three had a history of sudden cardiac death, representing a “malignant” phenotype. We then compared the miRNA expression profiles of three FHCM patients carrying MYBPC3 gene mutations with those of the normal control group using miRNA sequencing technology. Differentially expressed miRNAs were verified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Target genes and signaling pathways of the identified differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted using bioinformatics analysis. A total of 33 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were detected in the peripheral blood of the three probands, of which 28 were upregulated, including miR-208b-3p, and 5 were downregulated. Real-time PCR confirmed the upregulated expression of miR-208b-3p in FHCM patients (P < 0.05). Bioinformatics analysis showed that miR-208b-3p was mainly enriched in 79 target genes including UBE2V2, MED13, YBX1, CNKSR2, GATA4, andSOX5/6, et al. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of target genes showed that miR-208b was mainly involved in the processes of negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, and regulation of transcription, DNA templated. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that the target genes regulated by miR-208b-3p were mainly involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. These findings suggest that FHCM patients with MYBPC3 gene mutations have a specific miRNA expression profile, and that miR-208b-3p is significantly upregulated in cardiac hypertrophy. Our results also indicate that miRNA-208b-3p activates the Wnt signaling pathway through its target gene to promote cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Objective This study summarises the diagnostic validity and clinical utility of genetic testing for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and their at-risk relatives. Methods A systematic search was performed in PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane Central Library databases from inception through 2 March 2020. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were prespecified for individual sarcomere genes, presence/absence of pathogenic variants, paediatric and adult cohorts, family history, inclusion of probands, and variant classification method. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool. Results A total of 132 articles met inclusion criteria. The detection rate based on pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants was significantly higher in paediatric cohorts compared with adults (56% vs 42%; p=0.01) and in adults with a family history compared with sporadic cases (59% vs 33%; p=0.005). When studies applied current, improved, variant interpretation standards, the adult detection rate significantly decreased from 42% to 33% (p=0.0001) because less variants met criteria to be considered pathogenic. The mean difference in age-of-onset in adults was significantly earlier for genotype-positive versus genotype-negative cohorts (8.3 years; p<0.0001), MYH7 versus MYBPC3 cohorts (8.2 years; p<0.0001) and individuals with multiple versus single variants (7.0 years; p<0.0002). Overall, disease penetrance in adult cohorts was 62%, but differed significantly depending on if probands were included or excluded (73% vs 55%; p=0.003). Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis is the first, to our knowledge, to collectively quantify historical understandings of detection rate, genotype-phenotype associations and disease penetrance for HCM, while providing the answers to important routine clinical questions and highlighting key areas for future study.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases, frequently genetic, affecting the heart muscle. The symptoms range from asymptomatic to dyspnea, arrhythmias, syncope, and sudden cardiac death. This study is focused on MYH7 (beta-myosin heavy chain), as this gene is commonly mutated in cardiomyopathy patients. Due to the high combined prevalence of MYH7 variants and severe health outcomes, it is one of the most frequently tested genes in clinical settings. We analyzed the clinical presentation and natural history of 48 patients with MYH7-related cardiomyopathy belonging to a cohort from a tertiary center at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. We made special reference to three age subgroups (0–1, 1–12, and >12 years). Our results characterize a clinically significant MYH7 cohort, emphasizing the high variability of the CMP phenotype depending on age. We observed a subgroup of infants (0–1 years) with MYH7 associated severe DCM phenotype. We further demonstrate that patients under the age of 12 years have a similar symptom burden compared to older patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in younger people and athletes. It is crucial to identify the risk factors for SCD in individuals with HCM. This review, based on recent systematic literature studies, will focus on the risk factors for SCD in patients with HCM. RECENT FINDINGS An increasing number of studies have further explored the risk factors for SCD in patients with HCM, and new risk markers have emerged accordingly. In addition, more accurate SCD risk estimation and stratification methods have been proposed and continuously improved. SUMMARY The identification of independent risk factors for HCM-related SCD would likely contribute to risk stratification. However, it is difficult to predict SCD with absolute certainty, as the annual incidence of SCD in adult patients with HCM is approximately 1%. The review discusses the established risk factors, such as a family history of SCD, unexplained syncope and some new risk factors. Taken together, the findings of this review demonstrate that there is a need for further research on individual risk factors and that SCD risk stratification in HCM patients remains a clinical challenge.

Early and late post-operative arrhythmias after surgical myectomy: 45 years of follow-up. Int J Cardiol 2020; 328:63-68.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study are to investigate the incidence and determinants of post-operative atrial arrhythmias, conduction disorders and mortality in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients undergoing transaortic myectomy. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective single-center study was conducted in 249 patients (median age 54 years [40-64], 42% female) undergoing transaortic myectomy. Post-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) was reported in 84 patients (33.7%), including 56 patients (22.5%) with de novo AF. Older age (HR = 1.027 (1.003-1.052), p = 0.029) and hypercholesterolemia (HR = 2.296 (1.091-4.832) p = 0.029) were independent predictors for de novo post-operative AF. Late post-operative AF and atrial flutter (AFL) occurred in 18.9% and 6.8% of the patients, respectively. De novo early post-operative AF increased the risk of late post-operative AF (HR = 3.138 (1.450-6.789), p = 0.004). Patients with a right bundle branch block had a higher risk of early-postoperative pacemaker implantation (p = 0.003, HR = 9.771 (2.195-43.505)). Higher age at time of surgery (HR = 1.053 (1.026-1.081), p < 0.001) was a predictor for late mortality (n = 47, 18.9%). CONCLUSION Early and late post-operative AF, AFL and other SVTs are common sequelae after myectomy and are associated with older age at surgery, history of AF and early post-operative AF. Early post-operative arrhythmias are not transient and periodic rhythm monitoring is therefore essential to initiate therapy as soon as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The phenotype via conventional cardiac MRI analysis of MYH7 (β-myosin heavy chain)- and MYBPC3 (β-myosin-binding protein C)-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) groups is similar. Few studies exist on the genotypic-phenotypic association as assessed by machine learning in HCM patients. PURPOSE To explore the phenotypic differences based on radiomics analysis of T1 mapping images between MYH7 and MYBPC3-associated HCM subgroups. STUDY TYPE Prospective observational study. SUBJECTS In all, 102 HCM patients with pathogenic, or likely pathogenic mutation, in MYH7 (n = 68) or MYBPC3 (n = 34) genes. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE Cardiac MRI was performed at 3.0T with balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP), phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 mapping sequences. ASSESSMENT All patients underwent next-generation sequencing and Sanger genetic sequencing. Left ventricular native T1 and LGE were analyzed. One hundred and fifty-seven radiomic features were extracted and modeled using a support vector machine (SVM) combined with principal component analysis (PCA). Each subgroup was randomly split 4:1 (feature selection / test validation). STATISTICAL TESTS Mann-Whitney U-tests and Student's t-tests were performed to assess differences between subgroups. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the model's ability to stratify patients based on radiomic features. RESULTS There were no significant differences between MYH7- and MYBPC3-associated HCM subgroups based on traditional native T1 values (global, basal, and middle short-axis slice native T1 ; P = 0.760, 0.914, and 0.178, respectively). However, the SVM model combined with PCA achieved an accuracy and area under the curve (AUC) of 92.0% and 0.968 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.968-0.971), respectively. For the test validation dataset, the accuracy and AUC were 85.5% and 0.886 (95% CI: 0.881-0.901), respectively. DATA CONCLUSION Radiomic analysis of native T1 mapping images may be able to discriminate between MYH7- and MYBPC3-associated HCM patients, exceeding the performance of conventional native T1 values.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most common inherited cardiovascular diseases and possesses a high risk for sudden cardiac death. Although mutations in more than 20 genes have been reported to be associated with HCM thus far, the genetic backgrounds of most HCM patients are not fully understood. We performed a genetic analysis in a Chinese family that presented with HCM using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Clinical data, family histories, and blood samples were collected from the proband and family members. Five patients showed typical clinical symptoms of HCM. One subject was the victim of sudden cardiac death. By NGS, we determined that these subjects with HCM symptoms carried a missense heterozygous genetic mutation c.2632C>A (p.V878L) in the myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) gene with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Individuals without this mutation showed no symptoms or cardiac structural abnormalities related to HCM. Bioinformatics evaluation predicted this mutant as "damaging" and "disease causing". Additionally, sequence alignment showed that this mutant is located in an evolutionarily conserved region of MYH7 in multiple species. Our results describe a potentially pathogenic mutation associated with HCM, which may extend the spectrum of HCM phenotypes related to MYH7 gene mutations.

Abstract
β-myosin heavy chain (MHC) 7 (MYH7) is the dominant pathogenic gene that harbors mutations in 20–30% of cases of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The aim of this study was to elucidate the distribution and type of genetic variations among Chinese HCM families. From 2013 to 2017, the clinical data of 387 HCM probands and their families were collected. Targeted exome-sequencing technology was used in all probands, and the selected mutations were subsequently verified by Sanger sequencing in the probands, family members and 300 healthy ethnic-matched volunteers. Three-dimensional models were created using Swiss-PdbViewer 4.1, and further genetic analyses were performed to determine sequence conservation and frequency of the mutations. Among the 5 probands with double MYH7 mutations, 4 carried compound heterozygous mutations, and 1 carried monoallelic double mutations (A934V and E1387K). Four family members of the proband with monoallelic double mutations had the same mutation as the proband. Echocardiography and 12-lead electrocardiography revealed abnormalities in the proband and 3 of the 4 carriers. The probands with compound heterozygous mutation had a higher left ventricular mass as revealed by echocardiography and higher QRS, SV1 and RV5+SV1 amplitudes than those with monoallelic double mutations (P<0.05). Simulation of the 3D structure of mutated proteins showed that the replacement of alanine by valine affected the flexibility of the MHC neck domain in case of the A934V mutation, whereas reactivity of the MHC rod domain was affected in the case of the E1387K mutation. In conclusion, we identified several novel HCM-causing MYH7 mutations. More importantly, this is the first study to report a rare HCM family with monoallelic double mutations.

Abstract
Over 1,500 gene mutations are known to cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Previous studies suggest that cardiac β-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) gene mutations are commonly associated with a more severe phenotype, compared to cardiac myosin binding protein-C (MYBPC3) gene mutations with milder phenotype, incomplete penetrance and later age of onset. Compound mutations can worsen the phenotype. This study aimed to validate these comparative differences in a large cohort of individuals and families with HCM. We performed genome-phenome correlation among 80 symptomatic HCM patients, 35 asymptomatic carriers and 35 non-carriers, using an 18-gene clinical diagnostic HCM panel. A total of 125 mutations were identified in 14 genes. MYBPC3 and MYH7 mutations contributed to 50.0% and 24.4% of the HCM patients, respectively, suggesting that MYBPC3 mutations were the most frequent cause of HCM in our cohort. Double mutations were found in only nine HCM patients (7.8%) who were phenotypically indistinguishable from single-mutation carriers. Comparisons of clinical parameters of MYBPC3 and MYH7 mutants were not statistically significant, but asymptomatic carriers had high left ventricular ejection fraction and diastolic dysfunction when compared to non-carriers. The presence of double mutations increases the risk for symptomatic HCM with no change in severity, as determined in this study subset. The pathologic effects of MYBPC3 and MYH7 were found to be independent of gene mutation location. Furthermore, HCM pathology is independent of protein domain disruption in both MYBPC3 and MYH7. These data provide evidence that MYBPC3 mutations constitute the preeminent cause of HCM and that they are phenotypically indistinguishable from HCM caused by MYH7 mutations.

Clinical outcomes associated with sarcomere mutations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a meta-analysis on 7675 individuals. Clin Res Cardiol 2017; 107:30-41. [PMID: 28840316 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-017-1155-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 89] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2017] [Accepted: 08/17/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which goes along with increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the knowledge about the different causal genes, the relationship between individual genotypes and phenotypes is incomplete. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrieved PubMed/Medline literatures on genotype-phenotype associations in patients with HCM and mutations in MYBPC3, MYH7, TNNT2, and TNNI3. Altogether, 51 studies with 7675 HCM patients were included in our meta-analysis. The average frequency of mutations in MYBPC3 (20%) and MYH7 (14%) was higher than TNNT2 and TNNI3 (2% each). The mean age of HCM onset for MYH7 mutation positive patients was the beginning of the fourth decade, significantly earlier than patients without sarcomeric mutations. A high male proportion was observed in TNNT2 (69%), MYBPC3 (62%) and mutation negative group (64%). Cardiac conduction disease, ventricular arrhythmia and heart transplantation (HTx) rate were higher in HCM patients with MYH7 mutations in comparison to MYBPC3 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, SCD was significantly higher in patients with sarcomeric mutations (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION A pooled dataset and a comprehensive genotype-phenotype analysis show that the age at disease onset of HCM patients with MYH7 is earlier and leads to a more severe phenotype than in patient without such mutations. Furthermore, patients with sarcomeric mutations are more susceptible to SCD. The present study further supports the clinical interpretation of sarcomeric mutations in HCM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2 most commonly affected genes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are MYH7 (β-myosin heavy chain) and MYBPC3 (β-myosin-binding protein C). Phenotypic differences between patients with mutations in these 2 genes have been inconsistent. Scarce data exist on the genotype-phenotype association as assessed by tomographic imaging using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 358 consecutive genotyped hypertrophic cardiomyopathy probands at 5 tertiary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy centers. Genetic testing revealed a pathogenic mutation in 159 patients (44.4%). The most common genes identified were MYH7 (n=53) and MYBPC3 (n=75); 33.1% and 47% of genopositive patients, respectively. Phenotypic characteristics by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of these 2 groups were similar, including left ventricular volumes, mass, maximal wall thickness, morphology, left atrial volume, and mitral valve leaflet lengths (all P=non-significant). The presence of late gadolinium enhancement (65% versus 64%; P=0.99) and the proportion of total left ventricular mass (%late gadolinium enhancement; 10.4±13.2% versus 8.5±8.5%; P=0.44) were also similar. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter multinational study shows lack of phenotypic differences between MYH7- and MYBPC3-associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Postmutational mechanisms appear more relevant to thick-filament disease expression and outcome than the disease-causing variant per se.

Abstract
The South Asian population, numbered at 1.8 billion, is estimated to comprise around 20% of the global population and 1% of the American population, and has one of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease. While South Asians show increased classical risk factors for developing heart failure, the role of population-specific genetic risk factors has not yet been examined for this group. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the major cardiac genetic disorders among South Asians, leading to contractile dysfunction, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. This disease displays autosomal dominant inheritance, and it is associated with a large number of variants in both sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric proteins. The South Asians, a population with large ethnic diversity, potentially carries region-specific polymorphisms. There is high variability in disease penetrance and phenotypic expression of variants associated with HCM. Thus, extensive studies are required to decipher pathogenicity and the physiological mechanisms of these variants, as well as the contribution of modifier genes and environmental factors to disease phenotypes. Conducting genotype-phenotype correlation studies will lead to improved understanding of HCM and, consequently, improved treatment options for this high-risk population. The objective of this review is to report the history of cardiovascular disease and HCM in South Asians, present previously published pathogenic variants, and introduce current efforts to study HCM using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, next-generation sequencing, and gene editing technologies. The authors ultimately hope that this review will stimulate further research, drive novel discoveries, and contribute to the development of personalized medicine with the aim of expanding therapeutic strategies for HCM.

Targeted next-generation sequencing of candidate genes reveals novel mutations in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Int J Mol Med 2015; 36:1479-86. [PMID: 26458567 PMCID: PMC4678153 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2015.2361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2015] [Accepted: 09/16/2015] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of sudden cardiac death and heart failure, and it is characterized by genetic and clinical heterogeneity, even for some patients with a very poor clinical prognosis; in the majority of cases, DCM necessitates a heart transplant. Genetic mutations have long been considered to be associated with this disease. At present, mutations in over 50 genes related to DCM have been documented. This study was carried out to elucidate the characteristics of gene mutations in patients with DCM. The candidate genes that may cause DCM include MYBPC3, MYH6, MYH7, LMNA, TNNT2, TNNI3, MYPN, MYL3, TPM1, SCN5A, DES, ACTC1 and RBM20. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and subsequent mutation confirmation with traditional capillary Sanger sequencing analysis, possible causative non-synonymous mutations were identified in ~57% (12/21) of patients with DCM. As a result, 7 novel mutations (MYPN, p.E630K; TNNT2, p.G180A; MYH6, p.R1047C; TNNC1, p.D3V; DES, p.R386H; MYBPC3, p.C1124F; and MYL3, p.D126G), 3 variants of uncertain significance (RBM20, p.R1182H; MYH6, p.T1253M; and VCL, p.M209L), and 2 known mutations (MYH7, p.A26V and MYBPC3, p.R160W) were revealed to be associated with DCM. The mutations were most frequently found in the sarcomere (MYH6, MYBPC3, MYH7, TNNC1, TNNT2 and MYL3) and cytoskeletal (MYPN, DES and VCL) genes. As genetic testing is a useful tool in the clinical management of disease, testing for pathogenic mutations is beneficial to the treatment of patients with DCM and may assist in predicting disease risk for their family members before the onset of symptoms.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common monogenic genetic cardiac
disease, with an estimated prevalence of 1:500 in the general population. Clinically,
HCM is characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricle (LV) walls, especially the
septum, usually asymmetric, in the absence of any cardiac or systemic disease that
leads to a secondary hypertrophy. The clinical course of the disease has a large
inter- and intrafamilial heterogeneity, ranging from mild symptoms of heart failure
late in life to the onset of sudden cardiac death at a young age and is caused by a
mutation in one of the genes that encode a protein from the sarcomere, Z-disc or
intracellular calcium modulators. Although many genes and mutations are already known
to cause HCM, the molecular pathways that lead to the phenotype are still unclear.
This review focus on the molecular mechanisms of HCM, the pathways from mutation to
clinical phenotype and how the disease's genotype correlates with phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) is the most prevalent genetic cardiac disease caused by a mutation in sarcomeres, Z-disks, or calcium-handling genes and is characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic profile of Brazilian patients with HC and correlate the genotype with the phenotype. METHODS We included 268 index patients from São Paulo city and 3 other cities in Brazil and extracted their DNA from whole blood. We amplified the coding sequencing of MYH7, MYBPC3, and TNNT2 genes and sequenced them with an automatic sequencer. RESULTS We identified causal mutations in 131 patients (48.8%). Seventy-eight (59.5%) were in the MYH7 gene, 50 (38.2%) in the MYBPC3 gene, and 3 (2.3%) in the TNNT2 gene. We identified 69 mutations, 24 not previously described. Patients with an identified mutation were younger at diagnosis and at current age, had a higher mean heart rate and higher nonsustained ventricular tachycardia frequency compared with those without a mutation. Patients with MYH7 gene mutations had a larger left atrium and higher frequency of atrial fibrillation than did patients with MYBPC3 gene mutations. CONCLUSION The presence of a mutation in one of the genes suggests a worse prognosis. Mutations in the MYH7 gene, rather than in the MYBPC3 gene, were also related to a worse prognosis. This is the first work characterizing HC molecular epidemiology in the Brazilian population for the 3 most important genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) due to mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins is most commonly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Since nearly 50% of HCM cases occur in the absence of a family history, a recessive inheritance pattern may be involved. METHODS A pedigree was identified with suspected autosomal recessive transmission of HCM. Twenty-six HCM-related genes were comprehensively screened for mutations in the proband with targeted second generation sequencing, and the identified mutation was confirmed with bi-directional Sanger sequencing in all family members and 376 healthy controls. RESULTS A novel missense mutation (c.1469G>T, p.Gly490Val) in exon 17 of MYBPC3 was identified. Two siblings with HCM were homozygous for this mutation, whereas other family members were either heterozygous or wild type. Clinical evaluation showed that both homozygotes manifested a typical HCM presentation, but none of others, including 5 adult heterozygous mutation carriers up to 71 years of age, had any clinical evidence of HCM. CONCLUSIONS Our data identified a MYBPC3 mutation in HCM, which appeared autosomal recessively inherited in this family. The absence of a family history of clinical HCM may be due to not only a de novo mutation, but also recessive mutations that failed to produce a clinical phenotype in heterozygous family members. Therefore, consideration of recessive mutations leading to HCM is essential for risk stratification and genetic counseling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genetic basis of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is well described, but the relation between genotype and clinical phenotype is still poorly characterised. OBJECTIVE To summarise and critically review the current literature on genotype-phenotype associations in patients with HCM and to perform a meta-analysis on selected clinical features. DATA SOURCES PubMed/Medline was searched up to January 2013. Retrieved articles were checked for additional publications. SELECTION CRITERIA Observational, cross-sectional and prospectively designed English language human studies that analysed the relationship between the presence of mutations in sarcomeric protein genes and clinical parameters. DATA EXTRACTION AND ANALYSIS The pooled analysis was confined to studies reporting on cohorts of unrelated and consecutive patients in which at least two sarcomere genes were sequenced. A random effect meta-regression model was used to determine the overall prevalence of predefined clinical features: age at presentation, gender, family history of HCM, family history of sudden cardiac death (SCD), and maximum left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT). The I(2) statistic was used to estimate the proportion of total variability in the prevalence data attributable to the heterogeneity between studies. RESULTS Eighteen publications (corresponding to a total of 2459 patients) were selected for the pooled analysis. The presence of any sarcomere gene mutation was associated with a younger age at presentation (38.4 vs 46.0 years, p<0.0005), a family history of HCM (50.6% vs 23.1%, p<0.0005), a family history of SCD (27.0% vs 14.9%, p<0.0005) and greater MLVWT (21.0 vs 19.3 mm, p=0.03). There were no differences when the two most frequently affected genes, MYBPC3 and MYH7, were compared. A total of 53 family studies were also included in the review. These were characterised by pronounced variability and the majority of studies reporting on outcomes analysed small cross-sectional cohorts and were unsuitable for pooled analyses. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a mutation in any sarcomere gene is associated with a number of clinical features. The heterogeneous nature of the disease and the inconsistency of study design precludes the establishment of more precise genotype-phenotype relationships. Large scale studies examining the relation between genotype, disease severity, and prognosis are required.

Abstract
Aim To analyze the genesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on a large cohort of patients from molecular genetics point of view and perform the functional analysis of the 3D molecular model of defective myosin-7 protein in silico. Methods The study enrolled 153 patients with diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from different parts of the Czech Republic. DNA samples were analyzed for mutations in exons 21 and 22 of the MYH7 gene, which have been associated with high mutation clustering. The 3D model of human myosin-7 was built using the x-ray structure of nucleotide-free scallop myosin S1 as the structural template. We performed de novo structure prediction of mutant and wild type peptides spanning the 769-788 amino acids region of the myosin-7 protein. Results The Arg870His and Asp778Val amino acid alterations were found in 2 unrelated patients with a severe form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The Asp778Val variation was chosen for subsequent 3D molecular modeling in silico. The mutation of the Asp by Val not only changes the character of the interaction pattern with other amino acids or ions but Val, being a small hydrophobic amino acid, can also completely change the stability of the region. Conclusion Mutation location in the MYH7 gene and changes in amino acid composition may have a crucial negative impact on the outcome of the disease in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In addition, a mutation that changes the charge of the amino acid is more likely to affect protein function than a conservative mutation.

Abstract
Unexplained cardiac hypertrophy, the diagnostic criterion for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), occurs in 1 in 500 adults. Insights into the genetic cause and molecular pathophysiology of HCM are reshaping clinical paradigms for diagnosis and treatment of this common myocardial disorder. Human genetic studies have established that dominant mutations in the proteins that make up the contractile apparatus (the sarcomere) cause HCM. With the current availability of clinical gene-based diagnostics, pathogenic mutations in affected patients can be defined, which can suggest a clinical course and allow definitive preclinical identification of family members at risk for HCM. Genetic discoveries have also fostered mechanistic investigations in model organisms that are engineered to carry human HCM mutations. Novel therapeutic targets have emerged from these fundamental studies and are currently under clinical assessment in humans. The combination of contemporary gene-based diagnosis with new strategies to attenuate disease development and progression is changing the natural history of lifelong cardiac symptoms, arrhythmias, and heart failure from HCM.
