Two novel variants in cardiomyopathy-related genes were identified: c.247 A > C; p.N83H in the Troponin T Type 2 gene (TNNT2) and c.2863G > A; p.D955N in the Myosin Heavy Polypeptide 7 gene (MYH7).
Of 180 families with genetically studied cardiomyopathies, 21 families (11.7%) were identified as having mutations in TNNT2: 10 families had Arg92Gln, 5 had Arg286His, 3 had Arg278Cys, 1 had Arg92Trp, 1 had Arg94His, and 1 had Ile221Thr.
We describe a pediatric proband with fatal restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with septal hypertrophy and compound heterozygosity for TNNC1 mutations (NM_003280: p.A8V [c.C23T] and p.D145E [c.C435A]).

As a result, 7 novel mutations (MYPN, p.E630K; TNNT2, p.G180A; MYH6, p.R1047C; TNNC1, p.D3V; DES, p.R386H; MYBPC3, p.C1124F; and MYL3, p.D126G), 3 variants of uncertain significance (RBM20, p.R1182H; MYH6, p.T1253M; and VCL, p.M209L), and 2 known mutations (MYH7, p.A26V and MYBPC3, p.R160W) were revealed to be associated with DCM.

These results suggest that the missense mutation (Leu84Phe) and two novel SNPs (c.192 + 353 C>A, c.192 + 463 G>A) in TNNT2 gene might be associated with DCM in the Chinese population.

The hs-cTnT-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms were not associated with coronary heart disease in a large case-control study, but rs12564445 was significantly associated with incident heart failure in Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study European Americans (hazard ratio=1.16; P=0.004).

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis showed that the SNPs rs7521796, rs2275862, rs3729547, rs10800775, and rs1892028, which are approximately 6 kb apart, were in high LD (D' > 0.80) in the DCM patients.
These included an A28V missense mutation, a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (g.7239;G→A) predicted to disturb the splicing significantly, three SNPs, rs3729547 (C→T), rs3729843 (G→A), rs3729842 (C→T), which were in high linkage disequilibrium, and a 5 bp polymorphism that skipped exon 4 during splicing, which was found to be significantly higher in HCM patients (del/del genotype, p=0.00011; deletion allele, p=0.00008).

This novel mutation in MYBPC3, not present in 200 chromosomes from 200 healthy individuals, affects a codon known to harbor an HCM-causing mutation--p.Arg253His.
