Genetic Mutations and Mechanisms in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Genetic mutations and mechanisms in dilated cardiomyopathy Elizabeth M. McNally, … , Jessica R. Golbus, Megan J. Puckelwartz J Clin Invest. 2013;123(1):19-26. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI62862. Review Series Genetic mutations account for a significant percentage of cardiomyopathies, which are a leading cause of congestive heart failure. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiac output is limited by the thickened myocardium through impaired filling and outflow. Mutations in the genes encoding the thick filament components myosin heavy chain and myosin binding protein C (MYH7 and MYBPC3) together explain 75% of inherited HCMs, leading to the observation that HCM is a disease of the sarcomere. Many mutations are “private” or rare variants, often unique to families. In contrast, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is far more genetically heterogeneous, with mutations in genes encoding cytoskeletal, nucleoskeletal, mitochondrial, and calcium-handling proteins. DCM is characterized by enlarged ventricular dimensions and impaired systolic and diastolic function. Private mutations account for most DCMs, with few hotspots or recurring mutations. More than 50 single genes are linked to inherited DCM, including many genes that also link to HCM. Relatively few clinical clues guide the diagnosis of inherited DCM, but emerging evidence supports the use of genetic testing to identify those patients at risk for faster disease progression, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia.

Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
www.ChildLab.com 800-934-6575 LIMB-GIRDLE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY What is Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy? Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) is a group of hereditary disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and wasting of the shoulders and pelvis (hips). There are at least 13 different genes that cause LGMD, each associated with a different subtype. Depending on the subtype of LGMD, the age of onset is variable (childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood) and can affect other muscles of the body. Many persons with LGMD eventually need the assistance of a wheelchair, and currently there is no cure. How is LGMD inherited? LGMD can be inherited by autosomal dominant (AD) or autosomal recessive (AR) modes. The AR subtypes are much more common than the AD types. Of the AR subtypes, LGMD2A (calpain-3) is the most common (30% of cases). LGMD2B (dysferlin) accounts for 20% of cases and the sarcoglycans (LGMD2C-2F) as a group comprise 25%-30% of cases. The various subtypes represent the different protein deficiencies that can cause LGMD. What testing is available for LGMD? Diagnosis of the LGMD subtypes requires biochemical and genetic testing. This information is critical, given that management of the disease is tailored to each individual and each specific subtype. Establishing the specific LGMD subtype is also important for determining inheritance and recurrence risks for the family. The first step in diagnosis for muscular dystrophy is usually a muscle biopsy. Microscopic and protein analysis of the biopsy can often predict the type of muscular dystrophy by analyzing which protein(s) is absent. A muscle biopsy will allow for targeted analysis of the appropriate LGMD gene(s) and can rule out the diagnosis of the more common dystrophinopathies (Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies). -

B1-Syntrophin Modulation by Mir-222 in Mdx Mice

The mechanisms involved in the disappearance of the DAPC are not completely understood. The muscles of mdx mice express normal amounts of mRNA for the DAPC components, thus suggesting post-transcriptional regulation. Methodology/Principal Findings: We investigated the hypothesis that DAPC reduction could be associated with the microRNA system. Among the possible microRNAs (miRs) found to be upregulated in the skeletal muscle tissue of mdx compared to wt mice, we demonstrated that miR-222 specifically binds to the 39-UTR of b1-syntrophin and participates in the downregulation of b1-syntrophin. In addition, we documented an altered regulation of the 39-UTR of b1-syntrophin in muscle tissue from dystrophic mice. Conclusion/Significance: These results show the importance of the microRNA system in the regulation of DAPC components in dystrophic muscle, and suggest a potential role of miRs in the pathophysiology of dystrophy.

The phenotype of muscular dystrophy is an endpoint that arises from a diverse set of genetic pathways. Genes associated with muscular dystrophies encode proteins of the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix, and the sarcomere and Z band, as well as nuclear membrane components. Because muscle has such distinctive structural and regenerative properties, many of the genes implicated in these disorders target pathways unique to muscle or more highly expressed in muscle. -
