Background Truncating variants in the TTN gene ( TTNtv) are common in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) but also occur in the general population. Whether TTNtv are sufficient to cause DCM or require a second hit for DCM manifestation is an important clinical issue. Methods We generated a zebrafish model of an A-band TTNtv identified in 2 human DCM families in which early-onset disease appeared to be precipitated by ventricular volume overload. Cardiac phenotypes were serially assessed from 0 to 12 months using video microscopy, high-frequency echocardiography, and histopathologic analysis. The effects of sustained hemodynamic stress resulting from an anemia-induced hyperdynamic state were also evaluated. Results Homozygous ttna mutants had severe cardiac dysmorphogenesis and premature death, whereas heterozygous mutants ( ttna |
