The Metabolome in Finnish Carriers of the MYBPC3-Q1061X Mutation for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Mutations in the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3) are the most common genetic cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) worldwide. The molecular mechanisms leading to HCM are poorly understood. We investigated the metabolic profiles of mutation carriers with the HCM-causing MYBPC3-Q1061X mutation with and without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and non-affected relatives, and the association of the metabolome to the echocardiographic parameters.

Methods and results

34 hypertrophic subjects carrying the MYBPC3-Q1061X mutation, 19 non-hypertrophic mutation carriers and 20 relatives with neither mutation nor hypertrophy were examined using comprehensive echocardiography. Plasma was analyzed for molecular lipids and polar metabolites using two metabolomics platforms. Concentrations of branched chain amino acids, triglycerides and ether phospholipids were increased in mutation carriers with hypertrophy as compared to controls and non-hypertrophic mutation carriers, and correlated with echocardiographic LVH and signs of diastolic and systolic dysfunction in subjects with the MYBPC3-Q1061X mutation.

Conclusions

Our study implicates the potential role of branched chain amino acids, triglycerides and ether phospholipids in HCM, as well as suggests an association of these metabolites with remodeling and dysfunction of the left ventricle.

Project description:Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments. We hypothesized that impaired MBF and myocardial perfusion reserve, quantified using perfusion mapping cardiac magnetic resonance, might occur in the absence of overt left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and late gadolinium enhancement, in mutation carriers without LVH criteria for HCM (genotype-positive, left ventricular hypertrophy-negative). Methods and Results A single center, case-control study investigated MBF and myocardial perfusion reserve (the ratio of MBF at stress:rest), along with other pre-phenotypic features of HCM. Individuals with genotype-positive, left ventricular hypertrophy-negative (n=50) with likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants and no evidence of LVH, and matched controls (n=28) underwent cardiac magnetic resonance. Cardiac magnetic resonance identified LVH-fulfilling criteria for HCM in 5 patients who were excluded. Individuals with genotype-positive, left ventricular hypertrophy-negative had longer indexed anterior mitral valve leaflet length (12.52±2.1 versus 11.55±1.6 mm/m2, P=0.03), lower left ventricular end-systolic volume (21.0±6.9 versus 26.7±6.2 mm/m2, P≤0.005) and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (71.9±5.5 versus 65.8±4.4%, P≤0.005). Maximum wall thickness was not significantly different (9.03±1.95 versus 8.37±1.2 mm, P=0.075), and no subject had significant late gadolinium enhancement (minor right ventricle‒insertion point late gadolinium enhancement only). Perfusion mapping demonstrated visual perfusion defects in 9 (20%) carriers versus 0 controls (P=0.011). These were almost all septal or near right ventricle insertion points. Globally, myocardial perfusion reserve was lower in carriers (2.77±0.83 versus 3.24±0.63, P=0.009), with a subendocardial:subepicardial myocardial perfusion reserve gradient (2.55±0.75 versus 3.2±0.65, P=<0.005; 3.01±0.96 versus 3.47±0.75, P=0.026) but equivalent MBF (2.75±0.82 versus 2.65±0.69 mL/g per min, P=0.826). Conclusions Regional and global impaired myocardial perfusion can occur in HCM mutation carriers, in the absence of significant hypertrophy or scarring.
