Abstract
BACKGROUND Careful interpretation of the relation between phenotype changes of the heart and gene variants detected in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is important for patient care and monitoring. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the association between cardiac-related genes and whole-heart myocardial mechanics or morphometrics in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). METHODS It was a prospective study consisting of patients with NIDCM. All patients were referred for genetic testing and a genetic analysis was performed using Illumina NextSeq 550 and a commercial gene capture panel of 233 genes (Systems Genomics, Cardiac-GeneSGKit®). It was analyzed whether there are significant differences in clinical, two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters between patients with the genes variants and those without. 2D echocardiography and MRI were used to analyze myocardial mechanics and morphometrics. RESULTS The study group consisted of 95 patients with NIDCM and the average age was 49.7 ± 10.5. All echocardiographic and MRI parameters of myocardial mechanics (left ventricular ejection fraction 28.4 ± 8.7 and 30.7 ± 11.2, respectively) were reduced and all values of cardiac chambers were increased (left ventricular end-diastolic diameter 64.5 ± 5.9 mm and 69.5 ± 10.7 mm, respectively) in this group. It was noticed that most cases of whole-heart myocardial mechanics and morphometrics differences between patients with and without gene variants were in the genes GATAD1, LOX, RASA1, KRAS, and KRIT1. These genes have not been previously linked to DCM. It has emerged that KRAS and KRIT1 genes were associated with worse whole-heart mechanics and enlargement of all heart chambers. GATAD1, LOX, and RASA1 genes variants showed an association with better cardiac function and morphometrics parameters. It might be that these variants alone do not influence disease development enough to be selective in human evolution. CONCLUSIONS Combined variants in previously unreported genes related to DCM might play a significant role in affecting clinical, morphometrics, or myocardial mechanics parameters.

Abstract
Distinct SARS-CoV-2 lineages, discovered through various genomic surveillance initiatives, have emerged during the pandemic following unprecedented reductions in worldwide human mobility. We here describe a SARS-CoV-2 lineage - designated B.1.620 - discovered in Lithuania and carrying many mutations and deletions in the spike protein shared with widespread variants of concern (VOCs), including E484K, S477N and deletions HV69Δ, Y144Δ, and LLA241/243Δ. As well as documenting the suite of mutations this lineage carries, we also describe its potential to be resistant to neutralising antibodies, accompanying travel histories for a subset of European cases, evidence of local B.1.620 transmission in Europe with a focus on Lithuania, and significance of its prevalence in Central Africa owing to recent genome sequencing efforts there. We make a case for its likely Central African origin using advanced phylogeographic inference methodologies incorporating recorded travel histories of infected travellers.
