    1. sudden unexpected death of a 37‐year‐old male, with inconclusive autopsy conducted 14 years ago

      Case#: Single case; 37-year-old male construction worker; sudden unexplained death (SUD); found dead in bed ~1 hr after lunch, August 2005; molecular autopsy via WES in 2019 from autopsy tissue

      DiseaseAssertion: Sudden unexplained death (SUD); no structural cardiac cause at autopsy; MYBPC3/TTN/ACADVL/RYR2-related per WES reevaluation

      FamilyInfo: No family history or segregation data reported. The paper is a single molecular autopsy; no relatives were genotyped or phenotyped. No pedigree assessment performed.

      ParentalTesting: Not performed, no family members tested.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001698 (Sudden cardiac death); HP:0004756 (Ventricular tachycardia), the latter only as a speculative arrhythmic mechanism, not a documented clinical event

      CaseHPOFreeText: Found dead in bed ~1 hr after lunch in August 2005. External examination showed no traumatic injury; toxicological blood screen negative. Clinical history unremarkable. Heart weighed 350 g (reference 331±57 g in men) with regular morphology and volume. Microscopy showed small foci of interstitial fibrosis, deemed not significant. No other organ showed significant abnormality. Case dismissed as SUD, reevaluated in 2019.

    1. subject (33-year-old female) showed regular psychophysical development

      Case#: 33 year-old female; first cardiologic evaluation at age 24 (LV wall thickness 13 mm); re-evaluated at 33 after recurrent palpitations

      DiseaseAssertion: Noonan syndrome (PTPN11) with sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MYBPC3); non-obstructive HCM, mild phenotype

      FamilyInfo: Father carries the MYBPC3 c.1790G>A variant and has HCM; the PTPN11 variant was absent in both parents, consistent with de novo. Both parents and the proband's brothers underwent full cardiologic evaluation, no cardiovascular disease in the other family members. Parents declined genetic testing of the underage siblings. Grandparents (I-1, I-2) and II-2, II-3 have unknown phenotypes (pedigree Fig. 2).

      ParentalTesting: Both parents genotyped for the two proband variants (Table 1). Father heterozygous for MYBPC3 c.1790G>A; neither parent carries PTPN11 c.1510A>G, supporting de novo status. Phase between the two variants therefore established as in trans (different genes).

      CaseHPOFreeText: Regular psychophysical development. First echo at 24 showed mild increase in LV wall thickness (13 mm). At 33, presented with several episodes of palpitations; exam showed mild facial dysmorphisms (wide mouth, sloping forehead, prominent nasal bridge, prominent nose, low-set ears), short stature, and a systolic heart murmur. Echo: asymmetric LV hypertrophy, maximum wall thickness 16 mm at the anterior interventricular septum, mild mitral regurgitation, non-obstructive. No other cardiovascular signs.

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: No heart failure, no LV outflow obstruction, no pulmonary stenosis, no other congenital heart defect. No intellectual disability; psychophysical development was regular. No other signs of cardiovascular disease on examination.

      CasePreviousTesting: NGS panel of 325 cardiomyopathy-associated genes (Supplementary Table S1); MAF threshold 5%; variants validated by Sanger sequencing; cascade testing restricted to the two proband variants.

      Genotyping Method: NGS targeted panel (Maxwell 16 DNA extraction, Agilent Alyssa analysis, Illumina Variant Interpreter, in-house pipeline) with Sanger validation; parental Sanger genotyping for the same two variants.

      FunctionalAnalysis: None performed by the authors. They cite prior HeLa cell work showing the MYBPC3 c.1790G>A change causes exon 18 inclusion in the transcript and an almost undetectable 248 bp product.

      PMID: 32824488

      Gene: MYBPC3

      AdditionalInfo: Authors describe this as the first reported young adult with HCM and mild NS carrying variants in both PTPN11 and MYBPC3. Note the terminology problem: the abstract calls them "compound heterozygous," but the variants are in different genes on different chromosomes, so this is digenic (double heterozygosity), not compound heterozygosity. The authors argue the mild phenotype contrasts with the usual expectation that multiple sarcomeric hits worsen the disease, and that red flags justified the broad panel.

    1. The proband, a 64-year-old male non-smoker, was first admitted to the clinic in June 2014 with complaints of breathlessness during low physical activity, leg edema, infrequent palpitations, occasional pulling pains in the cardiac area and a tendency to hypotension (blood pressure (BP) 100/60 mm Hg).

      Case#: 64-year-old male, non-smoker, first admitted June 2014; Russian family; died 2019 at age 69

      DiseaseAssertion: MYBPC3-related cardiomyopathy with a predominantly restrictive phenotype in combination with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and cardiac sarcoidosis

      FamilyInfo: Son (39) and daughter (35) both heterozygous for the same variant and both have non-obstructive asymmetric HCM, with no LVNC on cardiac CT; both essentially asymptomatic on beta-blocker monotherapy. Five-year SCD risk 4.82% (son) and 2.07% (daughter); ICD implanted in the son, no shocks in three years. Authors mention another family of theirs with a father who died suddenly young and children with HCM and LVNC.

      ParentalTesting: Not performed; the proband is the index case; his parents were not evaluated. Transmission to both children confirmed by Sanger.

      CaseHPOFreeText: Normally born after 37 weeks pregnancy. During the prenatal period, she showed intrauterine growth retardation of unknown cause. At birth, dysmorphic features were noted (full list in table 1). After birth, she was treated for physiological jaundice and hypoglycemia. In addition, she has problem for failure to thrive and feeding difficulties associated with poor sucking and regurgitation. Furthermore, she was diagnosed with a congenital hypothyroidism in the neonatal screening. At 26 months old, she developed epilepsy. At 7Y, was considered to have Rett syndrome because of stereotypic hand movements since 2 years old, scoliosis and dystonia. Her psychomotor development was severely delayed: she had no ability to move by herself, visual contact, or social interaction. Brain MRI was performed at 1 year old and 6 years old. Both of these showed no abnormal findings. At 16 years old, follow-up MRI unexpectedly demonstrated a solid tumor with peritumoral edema at right cerebellum; diagnosed a cerebellar hemangioblastoma and confirmed through histopathology.

      VariantEvidence: No mutation was detected in MECP2 on chromosome Xq28. At 5 months old, her chromosome analysis of the white blood cells revealed a distal deletion of the short arm of chromosome 3. Genomic DNA from the patient and her parents revealed a de novo 11.0-Mb deletion at 3p26.3-25.3 that included VHL and a paternally inherited 740-kb gain at Xp22.2-22.13, which was predicted to be a benign copy number variation. Unfortunately, since the mutation analysis of VHL was not performed using resected tumor tissues in the present case, “the second hit” could not be confirmed. Thus, the reason remains unclear why a cerebellar hemangioblastoma developed in her.

      FamilyInfo: The father was a healthy 20-yr old with no particular medical concerns, and there was no family history of neuromuscular or genetic disorders on either side. Both parents confirmed as heterozygous carriers of the MYL2 c.188del variant by Sanger sequencing

      ParentalTesting: Both parents were confirmed as heterozygous carriers of MYL2 c.188del p.(Asn63Metfs7) by Sanger sequencing. Father confirmed as heterozygous carrier of NEB c.25435C>T p.(Gln8479)

      CaseHPOFreeText: Newborn exam revealed normal first and second heart sound with gallop rhythm and palpable liver at the right costal margin, as well as generalized hypotonia and diminished reflexes. Echocardiogram was performed at 11 d of age and revealed patent foramen ovale with left to right shunt and right atrial enlargement. At age 5 mo, the proband was admitted to hospital in decompensated heart failure and intubated on inotropic support. Echocardiography revealed left ventricular dilatation, mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation, and left atrial enlargement, with left ventricular function moderately to severely decreased with shortening fraction of 12% and ejection fraction of 23%. A vastus lateralis biopsy performed at 5 mo of age because of persistent muscle weakness and hypotonia revealed variability in fiber size with checkerboard pattern of 1:1 ratio of type 1 and type 2 fibers exhibiting hypotrophy of type 1 fiber size in comparison to the type 2 fibers. high lactate level (7.8 mmol/L)

      CaseNotHPOs: NR

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: Gomori trichrome–stained light micrographs and electron microscopy (EM) showed no evidence of ragged red fiber or nemaline rods, and oxidative stains revealed no evidence of cores, targetoid, or target fibers. Normal serum creatine kinase level. Normal birth weight, length, and head circumference. There was no histopathologic evidence of Pompe disease and GAA enzyme-level testing was normal. Genetic testing for POLG and Noonan syndrome genes normal

      CasePreviousTesting: Genetic testing was performed for DNA polymerase γ, catalytic subunit (POLG) and Noonan syndrome genes (PTPN11, SOS1, KRAS, RAF1, BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, and HRAS), all of which were normal. There was no histopathologic evidence of Pompe disease and GAA enzyme-level testing was normal. Muscular dystrophy was considered unlikely given the histopathologic findings and normal serum creatine kinase level.

      Genotyping Method: Next-generation sequencing was performed by the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (LMM) of Partners Healthcare Personalized Medicine using the Agilent SureSelect Design process. The gene panel utilized an all exon approach for 43 genes of interest for neuromuscular and cardiac conditions by targeting coding exons with bait out to coding sequence (CDS) ±65 bases. The complete coding regions of all genes were sequenced to average depth of 316 reads

      FunctionalAnalysis: No functional analysis of the variant was performed

      AdditionalInfo: This case also has a heterozygous pathogenic NEB variant c.25435C>T p.(Gln8479*) inherited from the father, classified as pathogenic but considered unlikely to be a significant contributor to disease as no second NEB allele was identified.

    1. The novel CME combines a duplication and an indel, rearranging exon 3 of the VHL gene-c. [516_517dupGTCAAGCCT; 532_542delCTGGACATCGTinsATTA], p. (Glu173Serfs*4) (Figure 2). This genetic rearrangement was detected in a 27-year-old female (patient #3) with an infratentorial tumour, initially considered on MRI to be ependymoma or haemangiopericytoma, but having the typical characteristics of cHB (Figure 3). After operation, HB of the cerebellum was histologically proven. Family history revealed that the patient's father has been operated for cHB and rHB, but unfortunately, the family has never been informed that the father's condition is VHL, which is an inheritable disease, and that the offspring should undergo regular screening by MRI of CNS beginning in adolescence [9Maher ER, Neumann HP, Richard S.

Jpn J Clin Oncol. 2006;36:337–343. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. The index patient might be classified as having the so called ‘type 1 VHL’ (rHB and cHB but at a low risk of RCC), which is related to contiguous deletion of all or part of VHL [9Maher ER, Neumann HP, Richard S. Von Hippel-Lindau disease: a clinical and scientific review. Eur J Hum Genet. 2011;19(6):617–623. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]]. Unfortunately, the father was not available for performing molecular genetic testing.

    2. Interestingly, one carrier of the deletion developed bilateral breast cancer at age 46 and 49. First cancer was diagnosed at the age of 46 in her right breast. The patient was treated by mastectomy with postoperative chemotherapy (CMF). Histopathological examination revealed invasive ductal breast carcinoma of 1.8 cm size. The tumor was ER- negative, and PR-negative (HER2 was not analyzed). A metastasis in 1 axillary lymph node was found. There was no evidence of distant metastases. The tumor was classified as T1c pN1a M0, stage IIA; grade G2. Three years later, at the age of 49, she was diagnosed with cancer of her left breast. It was an invasive ductal carcinoma of 2.0 cm size. The tumor was ER-positive, PR-positive, and HER2-negative. There was no evidence for lymph-node or distant metastases. The tumor was classified as T1c pN 0 M0, stage IA, grade G2 and treated with mastectomy and tamoxifen. Ki67 expression was not tested. At present, 9 and 6 years after treatment of the breast cancers there is no evidence of breast cancer recurrence.
