A 35-year-old woman who was a homozygous carrier of the p.(Pro1066Arg) variant
Case:Female, 35.
DiseaseAssertion:Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and conduction abnormalities.
Familyinfo:The patient's father had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and carried a heterozygous MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg) variant. The patient's mother was also heterozygous for the MYBPC3 variant. The patient had one sister who did not have reported cardiac abnormalities and was heterozygous for the MYBPC3 variant. The family was initially considered non-consanguineous. Genetic analysis identified a 26 Mb region of homozygosity, suggesting distant parental relatedness.
ParentalTesting:Both parents were tested. The father and mother were heterozygous for MYBPC3 c.3197C>G (p.Pro1066Arg). The affected daughter inherited the variant from both parents and was homozygous.
CasePresentingHPOs:HP:0031992, HP:0001685, HP:0005157, HP:0031295, HP:0001667, HP:0001670, HP:0001712, HP:0005144, HP: 0031195, HP:0030682, HP:0005135, HP: 0006682, HP: 0004763
CaseHPOFreeText:The patient developed severe cardiac manifestations associated with homozygous MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg). Cardiac MRI showed ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and features of left ventricular noncompaction. At follow-up, imaging showed asymmetric ventricular wall thickness, with a maximum diastolic thickness of 20 mm in the mid-lateral segment. She also had apical hypokinesia and left atrial enlargement. Electrocardiography and Holter monitoring showed premature ventricular complexes and a 20-beat episode of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.
CaseNotHPOs:No specific negative HPO findings were established for the affected daughter in the reported HPO table.
CaseNOTHPOFreeText:not reported
CasePreviousTesting:Cardiac MRI, echocardiography, electrocardiography, and 24-hour Holter monitoring were performed. Genetic evaluation was also conducted to identify the MYBPC3 and MYH7 variants.
GenotypingMethod:Whole-exome sequencing (WES) trio analysis was performed using DNA from the affected daughter and both parents. Family segregation analysis was performed by Sanger sequencing using an Applied Biosystems 3130 sequencer.
FunctionalAnalysis:No direct functional analysis of the MYBPC3 variant was reported.
Variant:NM_000256.3 (MYBPC3): c.3197C>G; p.(Pro1066Arg).
ClinVar: 1171602
CAID:not reported
gnomAD:not reported
AdditionalInfo:The patient was homozygous for the MYBPC3 p.(Pro1066Arg) variant. Both parents carried the variant in the heterozygous state. A 26 Mb region of homozygosity was identified on chromosome 11, supporting the possibility of distant parental relatedness. The variant was initially classified as a variant of uncertain significance and was subsequently reclassified as likely pathogenic following family segregation analysis.
