Overview
HCM is the most common genetically transmitted cardiovascular disease. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is attributed to mutations in one of a number of genes that encode for one of the sarcomere proteins [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Penetrance of HCM is incomplete, variable and time or age-related. The disease may be sporadic but affected family members are discovered in 13% of cases. More than 200 mutations involving at least 10 chromosomes encoding structural proteins of the myocyte have been discovered. These mutations have varying degrees of penetrance and even the same mutation may have variable expression, implying superimposed effects of other genes or environmental influences. Children of a patient with HCM have a 50% chance of inheriting the trait.
Mutations
Common Mutations
Mutations in three regions affect more than half the patients with HCM:
- Beta-myosin heavy chain
- Myosin binding protein C
- Cardiac troponin T
Complete List of Mutations
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is attributed to mutations in one of a number of genes that encode for one of the sarcomere proteins including beta-cardiac myosin heavy chain (the first gene identified), cardiac actin, cardiac troponin T, alpha-tropomyosin, cardiac troponin I, cardiac myosin-binding protein C, and the myosin light chains. Specific gene mutations that have been identified include the following:
| Gene | Locus | Type |
|---|---|---|
| MYH7 | 14q12 | CMH1 |
| TNNT2 | 1q32 | CMH2 |
| TPM1 | 15q22.1 | CMH3 (115196) |
| MYBPC3 | 11p11.2 | CMH4 (115197) |
| ? | ? | CMH5 |
| PRKAG2 | 7q36 | CMH6 (600858) |
| TNNI3 | 19q13.4 | CMH7 |
| MYL3 | 3p | CMH8 (608751) |
| TTN | 2q24.3 | CMH9 |
| MYL2 | 12q23-q24 | CMH10 |
| ACTC1 | 15q14 | CMH11 (612098) |
| CSRP3 | 11p15.1 | CMH12 (612124) |
While the above table represents the most common genetic mutations, there are also about 200 intergenic (within a gene) mutations. These include missense and single amino acid residue substitutions. There are different genetic mutations in different families. Environment may also play a role because affected inidiviudals in the same family may have different phenotypic expression (i.e different degrees of left ventricular hypertrophy). The goal of modifier genes in regulating phenotypic expression is not clear.
While genes, gene modifiers and environment may play a role in the phenotypic expression of left ventricular hypertrophy, genes may also play a role in the risk of arrhythmias. While most literature so far focuses on European, American, and Japanese populations, HCM appears in all racial groups. The incidence of HCM is about 0.2% to 0.5% of the general population.
Specific Chromosomal Abnormalities
β Myosin Heavy Chain-Chromosome 14 q11.2-3
In individuals without a family history of HCM, the most common cause of the disease is a de novo mutation of the gene that produces the β-myosin heavy chain. This chromosomal abnormality accounts for approximately 35%-45% of HCM cases. Significant LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) is usually presnet. The Arg403Gln mutation is associated with an extremely poor prognosis with average age of death at 33 years, while the Val606Met mutation is associated with a better prognosis.
Cardiac Troponin T-Chromosome 11
Accounts for approximately 15% of cases. Substantially less hypertrophy is noted but histology demonstrates the characteristic myocyte disarray of HCM. Most mutations of this gene are associated with markedly reduced survival.
Cardiac Myosin Binding Protein-C-Chromosome 11
This chromosomal abnormality accounts for 15% to 35% of patients, but given the reduced penetrance associated with this abnormality, the true incidence may actually be greater. Patients generally present later in life and in general, have a better prognosis than beta myosin heavy chain or cardiac troponin T mutations. Up to 60% of patients at age 50 years have no evidence of LVH. LVH may appear later in life in these patients. Because of this, a normal EKG and a normal ECHO at age 18 does not exclude the presence of HCM.
Arg663 His mutation
The beta-myosin heavy chain Arg663 His mutation is associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation [16].
PRKAG2 Mutation
There is no myocyte disarray, but conduction block is present. This variant is more akin to a storage disease[17].
Mutations that Alter the Phenotypic Expression of the Disease
An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the gene encoding for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) alters the clinical phenotype of the disease. The D/D (deletion/deletion) genotype of ACE is associated with more marked hypertrophy of the left ventricle and may be associated with higher risk of adverse outcomes [18] [19].
Genetic Testing
Whenever a mutation is identified through genetic testing, family-specific genetic testing can be used to identify relatives at-risk for the disease (HCM Genetic Testing Overview). In individuals without a family history of HCM, the most common cause of the disease is a de novo mutation of the gene that produces the β-myosin heavy chain.
