RNA Splicing Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Implications for Diagnosis and Therapy

Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common inherited heart disease, is predominantly caused by mutations in genes that encode sarcomere-associated proteins. Effective gene-based diagnosis is critical for the accurate clinical management of patients and their family members. However, the introduction of high-throughput DNA sequencing approaches for clinical diagnostics has vastly expanded the number of variants of uncertain significance, leading to many inconclusive results that limit the clinical utili… Show more

“…Splice site variants very often introduce a PTC resulting in the inactivation (loss of function/haploinsufficiency) of the mutated allele. 12,17 In the case of in-frame exon skipping, as well as for exon deletion(s) or duplication(s), an altered (shortened or lengthened) peptide is expected to be produced. It can than either be misfolded and eliminated within the cell or secreted as an altered monomer expected to affect proper microfibril assembly.…”

“…The role of splicing in HCM is becoming an area of increased focus [ 36 ]. Proteomic analysis of primary tissue from the failing hearts of 16 HCM patients has recently revealed a common pattern of altered sarcomeric proteoforms compared with heart tissues from nonfailing donors [ 37 ].…”
