چکیده

BACKGROUND Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common disorder associated with mitral regurgitation, endocarditis, heart failure, and sudden death. To date, 2 MVP loci have been described, but the defective genes have yet to be discovered. In the present study, we analyzed a large family segregating MVP, and identified a new locus, MMVP3. This study and others have enabled us to explore mitral valve morphological variations of currently uncertain clinical significance. METHODS AND RESULTS Echocardiograms and blood samples were obtained from 43 individuals who were classified by the extent and pattern of displacement. Genotypic analyses were performed with polymorphic microsatellite markers. Evidence of linkage was obtained on chromosome 13q31.3-q32.1, with a peak nonparametric linkage score of 18.41 (P<0.0007). Multipoint parametric analysis gave a logarithm of odds score of 3.17 at marker D13S132. Of the 6 related individuals with mitral valve morphologies not meeting diagnostic criteria but resembling fully developed forms, 5 carried all or part of the haplotype linked to MVP. CONCLUSIONS The mapping of a new MVP locus to chromosome 13 confirms the observed genetic heterogeneity and represents an important step toward gene identification. Furthermore, the genetic analysis provides clinical lessons with regard to previously nondiagnostic morphologies. In the familial context, these may represent early expression in gene carriers. Early recognition of gene carriers could potentially enhance the clinical evaluation of patients at risk of full expression, with the ultimate aim of developing interventions to reduce progression.

Genomic analysis in patients with myxomatous mitral valve prolapse: current state of knowledge

BACKGROUND Myxomatous mitral valve prolapse is a common cardiac abnormality. Morbus Barlow is characterized by excess myxomatous leaflet tissue, bileaflet prolapse or billowing, chordae elongation and annular dilatation with or without calcification. Extensive myxoid degeneration with destruction of the normal three-layered leaflet tissue architecture is observed histologically in such patients...

Autonomic dysregulation as a novel underlying cause of mitral valve prolapse: A hypothesis

Mitral valve prolapse is a common valvular abnormality that is caused by myxomatous degeneration, characterized macroscopically by leaflet thickening and redundancy accompanied with histologically marked proliferation of the spongiosa and mucopolysaccharide acid replacement of leaflet collagen in the prolapse leaflets. Nevertheless, the discrepant natural history and various concomitant syndrom...

Association between the severity of chest pain and the severity of mitral valve prolapse in children

Introduction: One of the causes of chest pain in children is mitral valve prolapse (MVP). This study aimed to investigate the association between the severity of chest pain and the severity of MVP. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was designed on 103 children aged 7 to 18 years suffering from MVP along with chest pain. By using echocardiography, severity of MVP was assessed in ...

 ABSTRACT Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder with genetic heterogeneity. Up to three loci are involved in this disease, PKDI on chromosome 16p13.3, PKD2 on 4q21, and a third locus of unknown location. Methods: Here we report the first molecular genetic study of ADPKD and the existence oflocus heterogeneity for ADPKD in the Iranian populatio...

E VALUATION OF ADENYLATE CYCLASE ACTIVITY IN MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE

The term mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is used for a particular subset of patients with hyperadrenergic dysautonomia. It occurs when part of a leaflet or both leaflets of the mitral valve extend above the plane of the atrioventricular junction during ventricular systole. The adenylate cyclase activity in MVP dys-autonomia was studied by extraction of enzyme from the erythrocytes from 62 norma...
