Probands with HCM and enrolled in Cardiac Inherited Diseases Registry New Zealand who have undergone clinical genetic testing over a 17-year period were included. Clinical data, family history, and genetic test results were analyzed.
Of 336 probands, 121 (36%) were women, 220 (66%) were European ethnicity, 41 (12%) were Māori, 26 (8%) were Pacific people, and 49 (15%) were other ethnicities. Thirteen probands (4%) presented with sudden death and 19 (6%) with cardiac arrest. A total of 134 (40%) had a P/LP variant identified; most commonly in the MYBPC3 gene (60%) followed by the MYH7 gene (24%). A P/LP variant was identified in 27% of Māori or Pacific probands versus 43% European or other ethnicity probands (P=0.022); 16% of Māori or Pacific probands had a variant of uncertain significance identified, compared with 9% of European or other ethnicity probands (P=0.092). Women more often had a P/LP variant identified than men (48% versus 35%; P=0.032), and variant-positive probands were younger at clinical diagnosis than variant of uncertain significance/variant-negative probands (39±17 versus 50±17 years; P<0.001) and more likely to have experienced cardiac arrest or sudden death events over their lifetime (P=0.002).
Carriage of a P/LP variant in HCM probands is associated with presentation at younger age, and cardiac arrest or sudden death events. Māori or Pacific probands were less likely to have a P/LP variant identified than European or other ethnicity probands.
■在新西兰心脏遗传性疾病登记处登记并在17年时间内接受过临床基因检测的HCM先兆。临床数据,家族史,并对基因检测结果进行分析。
■在336个先证者中,121人(36%)是女性,220人(66%)是欧洲种族,41人(12%)是毛利人,26人(8%)是太平洋人,49(15%)是其他种族。13位先证者(4%)出现猝死,19位(6%)出现心脏骤停。总共134个(40%)具有鉴定的P/LP变体;最常见的是MYPBC3基因(60%),其次是MYH7基因(24%)。在27%的毛利人或太平洋先证者中发现了P/LP变体,而在43%的欧洲或其他种族先证者中发现了P/LP变体(P=0.022);毛利人或太平洋先证者中有16%的变体具有不确定的意义,与9%的欧洲或其他种族先证者相比(P=0.092)。女性比男性更容易发现P/LP变异(48%对35%;P=0.032)。和变异阳性先证者在临床诊断时比不确定显著性变异/变异阴性先证者年轻(39±17岁对50±17岁;P<0.001),并且更有可能在其一生中经历心脏骤停或猝死事件(P=0.002).
■HCM先证者中P/LP变体的携带与年轻时的表现有关,和心脏骤停或猝死事件。与欧洲或其他种族先证者相比,毛利人或太平洋先证者不太可能拥有P/LP变体。
