Genetics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Norway.

چکیده
Genetic testing for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) became available in Norway in 2003. Here, we describe the results of this testing in probands with HCM referred until the end of 2012. The translated exons of MYBPC3, MYH7, TNNI3, TNNT2, MYL2 and MYL3 were analyzed in two groups of probands. In Group 1, comprising 696 probands above 1 year of age, a mutation was found in 203 patients (29.2%). Of those, 5.9% were carriers of two mutations. Mean age in double mutation carriers, single mutation carriers and mutation negative probands was 44 years (± 19 years), 50 years (± 5 years) and 55 years (± 6 years), respectively. In Group 2, comprising 26 infants below the age of 1, a mutation was found in 15.4%. A total of 120 different mutations were found of which 51 (42.5%) were novel.

We found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
متن کاملApical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in a Case with Chest Pain and Family History of Sudden Cardiac Death: A Case Report
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic cardiovascular disease, which is caused by a multitude of mutations in genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (1). Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon type of HCM. The sudden cardiac death is less likely to occur in the patients inflicted with AHCM (2). Herein, we presented the case of a 29-year-old man ...

The D-loop region is a hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, containing two hypervariable segments, HVS-I and HVS-II. In order to identify polymorphic sites and potential genetic background accounting for Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy (HCM) disease, the complete non-coding region of mtDNA from 31 unrelated HCM patients and 45 normal controls were sequenced. The sequences were aligne...
