Popis: ObjectivesWe studied the clinical features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by a novel mutation in the myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C) gene in patients and family members of Japanese descent.BackgroundPrevious reports have demonstrated that the clinical features of HCM associated with mutations in the MyBP-C gene include late onset and a favorable clinical course. Recently, some mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins have been reported to be a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), as well as HCM. However, mutations of the MyBP-C gene have not been reported as a cause of DCM up to now.MethodsWe analyzed MyBP-C gene mutations in 250 unrelated probands with HCM and in 90 with DCM. We used electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography to determine clinical phenotypes.ResultsWe identified 17 individuals in 8 families (7 HCM, 1 DCM) with an Arg820Gln mutation in the MyBP-C gene. Overall, 2 (40%) of 5 carriers age >70 years displayed “burnt-out” phase HCM, and one of them had been diagnosed as having DCM before genetic identification. The disease penetrance in subjects age >50 years was 70% by echocardiography and 100% by ECG, and that in those age
