Abstract 18890: An MYH7 Mutation Causes Inherited Left Ventricular Noncompaction and Sudden Death in a Large Multigenerational Family
2014
Introduction: Mutations in MYH7, encoding the cardiac β-myosin heavy chain, cause hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Recently, several mutations in MYH7 were reported in patients with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by increased trabeculation and sudden death (SCD). No large families with inherited LVNC caused by MYH7 mutations have been reported. Methods: We identified a large family with LVNC and SCD (Pedigree). The proband is a 56 yo woman who presented at age 48 with heart failure, LVNC and a depressed ejection fraction (EF) by echocardiogram (TTE) and cardiac MRI (cMR). Medical records and blood samples were obtained from 20 adult family members, 8 clinically affected (6 LVNC; 2 DCM). DNA was isolated (PureGene), clinical genetic testing for known DCM/LVNC genes was performed on the proband’s affected daughter (GeneDx), and the mutation was identified in family members by direct sequencing. ECGs, TTEs, and cMRs were analyzed to determine PR...
