摘要
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous myocardial disease that is in most cases familial and transmitted in a dominant fashion. The most frequently affected gene codes for the cardiac (ventricular) beta-myosin heavy chain. We have investigated the genetic cause of an isolated case of HCM, which was marked by an extremely severe phenotype and a very early age of onset. HCM is normally not a disease of small children. The proband was a boy who had suffered cardiac arrest at the age of 6.5 years (resuscitation by cardioconversion). Upon screening of the beta-myosin heavy chain gene as a candidate, two missense mutations, one in exon 19 (Arg719Trp) and a second in exon 12 (Met349Thr), were identified. The Arg719Trp mutation was de novo, as it was not found in the parents. In contrast, the Met349Thr mutation was inherited through the maternal grandmother. Six family members were carriers of this mutation but only the proband was clinically affected. Segregation and molecular analysis allowed us to assign the Met349Thr mutation to the maternal and the Arg719Trp de novo mutation to the paternal beta-myosin allele. Thus, the patient has no normal myosin. We interpret these findings in terms of compound heterozygosity of a dominant (Arg719Trp) and a recessive (Met349Thr) mutation. Whereas a single mutated Arg719Trp allele would be sufficient to cause HCM, the concurrent Met349Thr mutation alone does not apparently induce the disease. Nevertheless, it conceivably contributes to the particularly severe phenotype.
