چکیده
To investigate the genotype-phenotype correlation in chinese familial and sporadic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, specific exons of the myosin binding protein-c gene (MYBPC3) were screened in six families with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM; FHCM) and in 20 patients with sporadic HCM (SHCM) from the anhui Province region of china. The V896M mutation was detected for the first time in China in two families with FHCM. The mutation was not found in 100 healthy control subjects. No mutations of MYBPC3 were detected in any of the SHCM patients. In contrast to previous reports, the V896M mutation may be a disease-causing mutation in China, and exon 27 of MYBPC3 may be a mutational hotspot in FHCM patients. However, mutations of MYBPC3 were not prevalent among SHCM patients.

Clinical features and prognostic implications of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy related to the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene.
BACKGROUND Little information is available on phenotype-genotype correlations in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that are related to the cardiac myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) gene. The aim of this study was to perform this type of analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 76 genetically affected subjects from nine families with seven recently identified mutations (SASint20, SDSint7, S...
متن کاملMolecular pathology of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the cardiac myosin binding protein C gene.
DNA studies in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) have shown that it is caused by mutations in genes coding for proteins which make up the muscle sarcomere. The majority of mutations in the FHC genes result from missense changes, although one of the most recent genes to be identified (cardiac myosin binding protein C gene, MYBPC3) has predominantly DNA mutations which produce truncated ...
متن کاملDouble heterozygosity for mutations in the beta-myosin heavy chain and in the cardiac myosin binding protein C genes in a family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal dominant disease, caused by mutations in several sarcomeric protein genes. So far, seven genes have been shown to be associated with the disease with the beta-myosin heavy chain (MYH7) and the cardiac myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) genes being the most frequently involved. We performed electrocardiography (ECG) and...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: distribution of disease genes, spectrum of mutations, and implications for a molecular diagnosis strategy.
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an autosomal-dominant disorder in which 10 genes and numerous mutations have been reported. The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic screening of these genes in a large population, to evaluate the distribution of the disease genes, and to determine the best molecular strategy in clinical practice. METHODS AND RESULTS The entire coding ...
متن کاملBurden of Recurrent and Ancestral Mutations in Families With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetically heterogeneous myocardial disease with >1000 causal variants identified. Nonunique variants account for disease in many families. We sought to characterize nonunique variants in Australian families and determine whether they arise from common ancestral mutations or recurrent mutation events. METHODS AND RESULTS Genetic test results of 467...
