Importance of Genetic Testing in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Applications and Challenges in Clinical Practice

Abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a clinical syndrome characterized by left ventricular dilatation and contractile dysfunction. It is the most common cause of heart failure in young adults. The advent of next-generation sequencing has contributed to the discovery of a large amount of genomic data related to DCM. Mutations involving genes that encode cytoskeletal proteins, the sarcomere, and ion channels account for approximately 40% of cases previously classified as idiopathic DCM. In this scenario, geneticists … Show more

“…Both primary and secondary cardiomyopathies may result from genetic predisposition and/or acquired non-genetic factors including exposure to environmental toxins, chemotherapeutic drugs, or infectious agents [ 1 ]. Based on the structural and functional changes that take place at the whole-organ level, cardiomyopathies are classically divided into (i) dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), defined as the dilatation of the left or both ventricles as a consequence of impaired myocardial contractility in the absence of abnormal overload and/or ischemic heart disease [ 2 ]; (ii) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), characterized by inappropriate myocardial hypertrophy that develops in the absence of pressure overload or infiltration [ 3 ]; (iii) arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC), characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium leading to arrhythmia, HF, and sudden cardiac death [ 4 ]; and (iv) restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), characterized by impaired ventricular filling and diastolic function with relatively normal ventricular wall thickness and systolic function [ 5 ]. This traditional classification has continuing relevance for clinical diagnosis and management; however, there is extensive overlap between these phenotypes.…”

“…ДКМП является самой этиологически гетерогенной кардиомиопатией. Около 40% случаев ДКМП относятся к наследственным вариантам [25], которые могут проявляться изолированным поражением сердца, в сочетании с нарушениями проводимости и некомпактным миокардом (НМ) или в рамках системных мышечных заболеваний. Среди последних наиболее часто фенотип ДКМП встречается при дистрофинопатиях (Дюшена и Бекера), поясно-ко нечностных мышечных дистрофиях (ПКМД) и прогрессирующей мышечной дистрофии Эмери-Дрейфуса (МДЭД) [26].…”

Наследственные ДКМП возникают по причине мутаций в генах саркомера (титин), цитоскелета (дистрофин, десмин), клеточных мембран (ламин, ионные каналы) и органелл [25]. Приобре-тенные формы ДКМП развиваются вследствие инфекций, аутоиммунных заболеваний, токсического (алкоголь, кокаин) или лекарственного (химиотерапия) поражения миокарда, дефицита микроэлементов, эндокринно-метаболических заболеваний и беременности [24].…”
