Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated primarily with pathogenic mutations in sarcomeric genes. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and distribution of disease-causing mutations in HCM-associated genes and the genotypephenotype relationship in Vietnamese patients with HCM. Methods and Results: Genetic testing was performed by next-generation sequencing in 104 unrelated probands for 23 HCMrelated genes and in 57 family members for the mutation(s) detected. Clinical manifestations were recorded for genotype-phenotype correlation analysis. Mutation detection rate was 43.4%. Mutations in MYBPC3 accounted for 38.6%, followed by TPM1 (20.5%), MYH7 (18.2%), TNNT2 (9.1%), TNNI3 (4.5%) and MYL2 (2.3%). A mutation in GLA associated with Fabry disease was found in 1 patient. A mutation in TPM1 (c.842T>C, p.Met281Thr) was identified in 8 unrelated probands (18.2%) and 8 family members from 5 probands. Genotype-positive status related to MYH7, TPM1, and TNNT2 mutations was associated with severe clinical manifestations. MYH7-positive patients displayed worse prognosis compared with MYBPC3-positive patients. Interestingly, TPM1 c.842T>C mutation was associated with high penetrance and severe HCM phenotype. Conclusions: We report for the first time the prevalence of HCM-related gene variants in Vietnamese patients with HCM. MYH7, TPM1, and TNNT2 mutations were associated with unfavorable prognosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
