Characteristics and outcomes associated with sarcomere mutations in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Cardiol 2024; 409:132213. [PMID: 38801835 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Impact of genetic testing for the prognosis and treatment of patients with HCM needs to be improved. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the characteristics and outcomes associated with sarcomere genotypes in index patients with HCM. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to Dec 31, 2023. Data on clinical characteristics, morphological and imaging features, outcomes and interventions were collected from published studies and pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 30 studies with 10,825 HCM index patients were included in the pooled analyses. The frequency of sarcomere genes in HCM patients was 41%. Sarcomere mutations were more frequent in women (p < 0.00001), and were associated with lower body mass index (26.1 ± 4.7 versus 27.5 ± 4.3; p = 0.003) and left ventricular ejection fraction (65.7% ± 10.1% vs. 67.1% ± 8.6%; p = 0.03), less apical hypertrophy (6.5% vs. 20.1%; p < 0.0001) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (29.1% vs. 33.2%; p = 0.03), greater left atrial volume index (43.6 ± 21.1 ml/m2 vs. 37.3 ± 13.0 ml/m2; p = 0.02). Higher risks of ventricular tachycardia (23.4% vs. 14.1%; p < 0.0001), syncope (18.3% vs. 10.9%; p = 0.01) and heart failure (17.3% vs. 14.6%; p = 0.002) were also associated with sarcomere mutations. CONCLUSIONS Sarcomere mutations are more frequent in women, and are associated with worse clinical characteristics and poor outcomes.

Abstract
One of the main causes of heart failure is cardiomyopathies. Among them, the most common is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), characterized by thickening of the left ventricular muscle. This article focuses on HCM and other cardiomyopathies with myocardial hypertrophy, including Fabry disease, Pompe disease, and Danon disease. The genetics and pathogenesis of these diseases are described, as well as current and experimental treatment options, such as pharmacological intervention and the potential of gene therapies. Although genetic approaches are promising and have the potential to become the best treatments for these diseases, further research is needed to evaluate their efficacy and safety. This article describes current knowledge and advances in the treatment of the aforementioned cardiomyopathies.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:10510.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent genetically inherited cardiomyopathy that follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. The majority of HCM cases can be attributed to mutation of the MYBPC3 gene, which encodes cMyBP-C, a crucial structural protein of the cardiac muscle. The manifestation of HCM's morphological, histological, and clinical symptoms is subject to the complex interplay of various determinants, including genetic mutation and environmental factors. Approximately half of MYBPC3 mutations give rise to truncated protein products, while the remaining mutations cause insertion/deletion, frameshift, or missense mutations of single amino acids. In addition, the onset of HCM may be attributed to disturbances in the protein and transcript quality control systems, namely, the ubiquitin-proteasome system and nonsense-mediated RNA dysfunctions. The aforementioned genetic modifications, which appear to be associated with unfavorable lifelong outcomes and are largely influenced by the type of mutation, exhibit a unique array of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to arrhythmic syncope and even sudden cardiac death. Although the current understanding of the MYBPC3 mutation does not comprehensively explain the varied phenotypic manifestations witnessed in patients with HCM, patients with pathogenic MYBPC3 mutations can exhibit an array of clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to advanced heart failure and sudden cardiac death, leading to a higher rate of adverse clinical outcomes. This review focuses on MYBPC3 mutation and its characteristics as a prognostic determinant for disease onset and related clinical consequences in HCM.

Abstract
Although many causative genes for primary cardiomyopathy have been identified, the use of genetic testing in routine practice is limited in Japan presently. Genetic diagnosis has been reported to be useful for early diagnosis through cascade genetic screening in the family, differentiating secondary cardiomyopathies, and predicting prognosis in some patients; nonetheless, the acquisition of genetic information for cardiomyopathy is stagnating in actual clinical practice. There seem to be a number of reasons for this phenomenon, and although the use of next-generation sequencers has resolved some of the past issues, the importance of pathogenicity studies of variants that are identified is growing. To ensure that patients with cardiomyopathy and their relatives can receive precision medicine, the results of genetic analysis linked to clinical information need to be collected, and a database of variants in Japanese people needs to be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary myocardial disorder with an autosomal-dominant disorder mainly caused by mutations in sarcomere genes. Recently, a phenotype-based genetic test prediction score for patients with HCM was introduced by Mayo Clinic. The genotype score was derived on the basis of the predictive effect of 6 clinical markers, and the total score was shown to be correlated with the yield of genetic testing. However, it has not been determined whether this prediction model is useful in Japanese HCM patients.Methods and Results:The utility of the Mayo Clinic HCM genotype predictor score in 209 Japanese unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of HCM who had undergone genetic testing for 6 sarcomere genes was assessed. Overall, 55 patients (26%) had pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (60% being genotype-positive in familial cases). We divided the patients into 6 groups (groups with scores of from -1 to 5) according to the prediction score. The yields of genetic testing in the groups with scores of -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were 8%, 16%, 24%, 48%, 50%, 100%, and 89%, respectively, with an incremental increase in yield between each of the score subgroups (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The Mayo Clinic HCM genotype predictor score is useful for predicting a positive genetic test result in Japanese HCM Patients.
