Truncating variants in the TTN gene (TTNtv) are the most common genetic cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) but also occur as incidental findings in the general population. This study investigated factors associated with the clinical manifestation of TTNtv.
An international multicentre retrospective observational study was performed in families with TTNtv-related DCM. Shared frailty models were used to estimate associations of variant characteristics with lifetime risk of DCM, and logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for individual-level clinical risk factor profiles (cardiac conditions, cardiovascular comorbidities, lifestyle) and DCM.
A total of 3158 subjects in 1043 families with TTNtv-related DCM were studied. TTNtv-positive subjects were 21-fold more likely to develop DCM [OR, 21.21; 95% confidence interval (CI), 14.80-30.39]. Disease onset was earlier in males, but was similar for TTNtv of different types and locations. The presence of clinical risk factors was associated with earlier DCM onset (OR, 3.41; 95% CI, 2.06-5.64), with a prior history of atrial fibrillation having a two-fold increased odds of DCM (OR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.27-3.32). The prevalence of clinical risk factors increased with age; however, the strength of the DCM association was greatest for young-onset (<30 years) disease (OR, 4.75; 95% CI, 2.35-9.60). Administration of beta-adrenergic receptor or renin-angiotensin system-blocking drugs prior to overt DCM was associated with 87% reduced odds of DCM (OR, .13; 95% CI, .08-.23).
Disease onset in TTNtv-associated familial DCM is dependent on individual patient context and is potentially modifiable by risk factor management and prophylactic therapeutic intervention.
TTN基因的截短变异(TTNtv)是扩张型心肌病(DCM)最常见的遗传病因,但在普通人群中也作为偶然发现出现。本研究调查了与TTNtv临床表现相关的因素。
在患有TTNtv相关DCM的家庭中进行了一项国际多中心回顾性观察研究。使用共享脆弱模型估计变异特征与DCM终生风险的关联,并使用逻辑回归估计个体水平临床风险因素概况(心脏状况、心血管合并症、生活方式)与DCM的比值比(OR)。
共研究了1043个患有TTNtv相关DCM家庭中的3158名受试者。TTNtv阳性受试者发生DCM的可能性高21倍[OR,21.21;95%置信区间(CI),14.80 - 30.39]。男性发病较早,但不同类型和位置的TTNtv发病情况相似。临床风险因素的存在与DCM发病较早相关(OR,3.41;95%CI,2.06 - 5.64),有房颤病史使DCM发病几率增加两倍(OR,2.05;95%CI,1.27 - 3.32)。临床风险因素的患病率随年龄增加;然而,对于早发型(<30岁)疾病,DCM关联强度最大(OR,4.75;95%CI,2.35 - 9.60)。在明显发生DCM之前使用β - 肾上腺素能受体或肾素 - 血管紧张素系统阻断药物与DCM发病几率降低87%相关(OR,0.13;95%CI,0.08 - 0.23)。
TTNtv相关家族性DCM的发病取决于个体患者情况,并且可能通过风险因素管理和预防性治疗干预来改变。
