Pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy due to a heterozygous mutation of the TNNI3 gene
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy is rare and most commonly idiopathic in origin. Here, we applied a candidate gene approach and identified a missense mutation in the cardiac troponin I gene in a 12-year-old Chinese girl with restrictive cardiomyopathy. This study indicates that mutation in sarcomere protein genes may play an important role in idiopathic pediatric restrictive cardiomyopathy.

Role of Whole-exome Sequencing in Phenotype Classification and Clinical Treatment of Pediatric Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common cardiomyopathy in which the walls are rigid and the heart is restricted from stretching and filling properly. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) mutation-caused myofibril Ca2+ hypersensitivity has been shown to be associated with impaired diastolic function. This study aimed to investigate the linkage between the genotype and clinical thera...
متن کاملDeletion in TNNI3 gene is associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy.
In dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, over ten disease-causing genes have been identified in each entity. In contrast, mutations in only desmin and cardiac troponin T and I (TNNI3) have been shown to cause restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). We applied a candidate gene approach and identified a novel one nucleotide deletion, resulting in frame shift and predicted formation of a premature ...

BACKGROUND About 2-7% of familial cardiomyopathy cases are caused by a mutation in the gene encoding cardiac troponin I (TNNI3). The related clinical phenotype is usually severe with early onset. Here we report on all currently known mutations in the Dutch population and compared these with those described in literature. METHODS TheTNNI3 gene was screened for mutations in all coding exons and...
متن کاملDiverse Phenotypic Expression of Cardiomyopathies in a Family with TNNI3 p.Arg145Trp Mutation
Genetic diagnosis of cardiomyopathies is challenging, due to the marked genetic and allelic heterogeneity and the lack of knowledge of the mutations that lead to clinical phenotypes. Here, we present the case of a large family, in which a single TNNI3 mutation caused variable phenotypic expression, ranging from restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCMP) to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) to near-norm...
متن کاملIdiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy is part of the clinical expression of cardiac troponin I mutations.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is an uncommon heart muscle disorder characterized by impaired filling of the ventricles with reduced volume in the presence of normal or near normal wall thickness and systolic function. The disease may be associated with systemic disease but is most often idiopathic. We recognized a large family in which individuals were affected by either idiopathic RCM or hy...
