Common susceptibility variants examined for association with dilated cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Rare mutations in more than 20 genes have been suggested to cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), but explain only a small percentage of cases, mainly in familial forms. We hypothesised that more common variants may also play a role in increasing genetic susceptibility to DCM, similar to that observed in other common complex disorders. To test this hypothesis, we performed case-control analyses on all DNA polymorphic variation identified in a resequencing study of six candidate DCM genes (CSRP3, LDB3, MYH7, SCN5A, TCAP, and TNNT2) conducted in 289 unrelated white probands with DCM of unknown cause and 188 unrelated white controls. In univariate analyses, we identified associated common variants at LDB3 site 10779, LDB3 site 57877, MYH7 sites 16384 and 17404, and TCAP sites 140 and 1735. Multivariate analyses to examine the joint effects of multiple gene variants confirmed univariate results for MYH7 and TCAP and identified a block of nine variants in MYH7 that was strongly associated with DCM. Common variants in genes known to be causative of DCM may play a role in genetic susceptibility to DCM. Our results suggest that examination of common genetic variants may be warranted in future studies of DCM and other Mendelian-like disorders.

Project description:Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): Prof. V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University Aim To evaluate the Association of rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene with dilated idiopathic cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and myocardial dilation of ischemic origin (DMI). Subjects and methods The study included patients with ICMP and DMI in the number of 221 people. The average age of the subjects was in the range of 55.30 ± 9.69 years. We divided the patients into 2 groups: the first – patients diagnosed with idiopathic dilatation cardiomyopathy and the second-patients with myocardial dilatation of ichemic origin. The number of patients in the first group was 111, including 99 men (89.2%) and 12 women (10.8%). The average age of patients in this group is 51.73 ± 9.74 years, in men 51.00 ± 8.96 years, in women 57.75 ± 3.71 years. The second group included patients with myocardial dilatation of ischemic origin. Their number is 110 people, including 100 men (91.5%) and 10 women (8.5%). The average age of respondents is 58.68 ± 8.38 years, for men 58.29 ± 8.46 years, for women 62.90 ± 6.29 years. The control group included patients who had no manifestations of cardiovascular diseases. Their number is 121 people (average age 53.6 ± 4.8 years). The patients underwent laboratory and instrumental studies, as well as molecular and genetic studies of the 16 AG polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene (rs1042713). All patients underwent coronary angiography. Based on the anamnesis data and instrumental studies, those patients who could be said to have no risk factors for the development of dilatation of the heart cavities were identified in the first group. And those patients who were reliably diagnosed with CHD were in the second group, that is, dilatation of the heart cavities is due to a previous myocardial infarction, existing angina pectoris. Results In the group with DCMP 10.8% of patients were carriers of the common homozygous 16AA genotype, the heterozygous 16AG genotype-48.6%, and the rare homozygous 16GG genotype-40.5%. In the control group 11.8% of patients were identified as carriers of a homozygous genotype by a common allele, and 47.5% were carriers heterozygous genotype, and homozygous genotype for a rare allele – 40.7%. The analysis non revealed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of carrying the homozygous 16GG genotype in patients with DCMP compared to the control group of the rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene. In the group with DM IG, there was no association with the rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene. Conclusion A statistically significant association of rs1042713 of the ADRB2 gene with DCMP was not found. The association of DMI c rs1042713 could not be confirmed.
