Cardiomyopathies with Mixed and Inapparent Morphological Features in Cardiac Troponin I3 Mutation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fact that different types of cardiomyopathies can be manifested by the same sarcomere protein gene mutation in a single family is well known. However, mixed features of different types of cardiomyopathies in a single patient have not been well appreciated. We identified a novel mutation in cardiac troponin I3 (Arg186Gly) in the present case, and two of the family members showed mixed morphologic features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular non-compaction. Moreover, both the features of cardiomyopathies were not apparent for each type of cardiomyopathy. In the patient's family, four other members had unexpected deaths before the age of 30.

متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a multigenetic cardiac disease with autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance and incomplete penetrance, with the exclusion of those cases caused by mutations in the mitochondrial genome. The disease is usually caused by mutations in several sarcomeric contractile protein genes. Mutations have been found in four genes that encode components of the thick filament: ...

BACKGROUND Familial dilated cardiomyopathy (FDCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM) are the 2 most common forms of primary cardiac muscle diseases. Studies indicate that mutations in sarcomeric proteins are responsible for FHCM and suggest that mutations in cytoskeletal proteins cause FDCM. Evidence is evolving, however, that such conclusions are premature. METHODS AND RESULTS A novel mi...
متن کاملClinical features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by a Lys183 deletion mutation in the cardiac troponin I gene.
BACKGROUND Mutations that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have been identified in 9 genes that code proteins in the sarcomere. Previous reports have demonstrated that cardiac troponin I (cTnI) gene mutations may account for familial HCM; however, the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with HCM caused by cTnI gene mutations are not known. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed...

Animals have frequently been used as models for human disorders and mutations. Following advances in genetic testing and treatment options, and the decreasing cost of these technologies in the clinic, mutations in both companion and commercial animals are now being investigated. A recent review highlighted the genes associated with both human and non-human dilated cardiomyopathy. Cardiac tropon...
