Variants in MHY7 Gene Cause Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a disease of the cardiac muscle, characterized by frequent ventricular arrhythmias and functional/ structural abnormalities, mainly of the right ventricle. To date, 20 different genes have been associated with ACM and the majority of them encode for desmosomal proteins. In this study, we describe the characterization of two novel variants in MHY7 gene, segregating in two ACM families. MYH7 encodes for myosin heavy chain β (MHC-β) isoform, involved in cardiac muscle contractility.
METHOD AND RESULTS: In family A, the autopsy revealed ACM with biventricular involvement in both the proband and his father. In family B, the proband had been diagnosed as affected by ACM and implanted with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), due to ECG evidence of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia after syncope. After clinical evaluation, a molecular diagnosis was performed using a NGS custom panel. The two novel variants identified predicted damaging, located in a highly conserved domain: c. 2630T>C is not described while c.2609G>A has a frequency of 0.00000398. In silico analyses evaluated the docking characteristics between proteins using the Haddock2.2 webserver.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal two variants in sarcomeric genes to be the molecular cause of ACM, further increasing the genetic heterogeneity of the disease; in fact, sarcomeric variants are usually associated with HCM phenotype. Studies on the role of sarcomere genes in the pathogenesis of ACM are surely recommended in those ACM patients negative for desmosomal mutation screening.
