To explore the disease-causing gene mutation in Chinese with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
The peripheral venous blood samples were collected from 5 HCM families without consanguinity, including 5 probands, 2 males and 3 females, 28 sporadic HCM patients, 18 males and 10 females, and 80 healthy controls. The exons in the functional regions of cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) were amplified with PCR and the amplified products were sequenced.
A frame shift mutation-Arg346fs mutation in exon 13, the first mutation identified in Chinese-was discovered in one family with HCM. However, the members of the same HCM family with the Arg346fs mutation showed differences in phenotype and prognosis.
Cardiac myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) may be one of the main disease-causing genes. The heterogeneity of phenotype suggests that multiple factors may be involved in the pathogenesis.
探索中国肥厚型心肌病(HCM)患者的致病基因突变。
采集5个无血缘关系的HCM家系的外周静脉血样本,包括5名先证者(2名男性和3名女性)、28例散发HCM患者(18名男性和10名女性)以及80名健康对照者。采用聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增心肌肌球蛋白结合蛋白C(MYBPC3)功能区的外显子,并对扩增产物进行测序。
在一个HCM家系中发现了第13外显子的移码突变——Arg346fs突变,这是在中国首次鉴定出的突变。然而,具有Arg346fs突变的同一HCM家系成员在表型和预后方面存在差异。
心肌肌球蛋白结合蛋白C(MYBPC3)可能是主要致病基因之一。表型的异质性表明发病机制可能涉及多种因素。
