Abstract
Successful therapy in a cohort with early onset Danon disease (DD) highlights the potential importance of earlier disease recognition. We present experience from the largest National Pediatric Center in Russia for cardiomyopathy patients. This report focuses on identification of early clinical features of DD in the pediatric population by detailed pedigree analysis and review of medical records. RESULTS: Nine patients (3 females) were identified with DD at the Russian National Medical Research Center of Children's Health ("National Pediatric Center") aged birth to 16 years. At presentation/evaluation: all patients had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), ECG features of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW), and an increase in hepatic enzymes (particularly lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)); three had marked increase in NT-proBNP; two had HCM with impaired LV function; one had LVH with LV noncompaction; five had arrhythmia with paroxysmal supraventricular and/or ventricular tachycardia. Two teenagers died at ages 16-17 from refractory heart failure and two underwent heart transplantation. All patients were found to have a pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in the LAMP2 gene, six patients had no family history and a de novo evolvement was documented in 4/6 of those available for genetic tested. Retrospective review related to family background and earlier clinical evaluations revealed a definitive or highly suspicious family history of DD in 3, early clinical presentation with cardiac abnormalities (ECG, echo) in 3, and cerebral, hepatic and/or neuromuscular symptoms in 5. Abnormalities were detected 9,5 months to 5,8 years, median 3,5 years prior to referral to the National Pediatric Center. CONCLUSION: The earliest clinical manifestations of Danon disease occur in the first 12 years of life with symptoms of skeletal muscle and cerebral disease, raised hepatic enzymes, and evidence of cardiac disease on ECG/echo.

Abstract
Despite new strategies, such as evaluating deep intronic variants and new genes in whole-genome-sequencing studies, the diagnostic yield of genetic testing in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is still around 50%. FHOD3 has emerged as a novel disease-causing gene for this phenotype, but the relevance and clinical implication of copy-number variations (CNVs) have not been determined. In this study, CNVs were evaluated using a comparative depth-of-coverage strategy by next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 5493 HCM probands and 2973 disease-controls. We detected three symmetrical deletions in FHOD3 that involved exons 15 and 16 in three HCM families (no CNVs were detected in the control group). These exons are part of the diaphanous inhibitory domain of FHOD3 protein, considered a cluster of mutations for HCM. The clinical characteristics of the affected carriers were consistent with those reported in FHOD3 in previous studies. This study highlights the importance of performing CNV analysis systematically in NGS genetic testing panels for HCM, and reinforces the relevance of the FHOD3 gene in the disease.
