Abstract

AIMS: The E101K mutation in the alpha-cardiac actin gene (ACTC) has been associated with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). As prominent trabeculations were described in some carriers, we screened for the E101K mutation in our index patients with HCM, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), or left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). METHODS AND RESULTS: Clinical, echocardiographic, and genetic screening by restriction fragment length polymorphism of the ACTC E101K mutation in 247 families with HCM, DCM, or LVNC. The mutation was found in five index patients (one with LVNC and four with HCM). Clinical and morphological data were obtained from 94 family members. Forty-six individuals had cardiomyopathy (43 with the mutation and three with no genetic study): 23 fulfilled criteria for LVNC, 22 were diagnosed as apical HCM, and one had been diagnosed as restrictive cardiomyopathy. There had been one heart transplant and one congestive heart failure death in patients with severe diastolic dysfunction, and five premature sudden deaths. The E101K mutation was not found in 48 unaffected relatives. Septal defects (eight atrial and one ventricular) were found in nine mutant carriers from four families, and were absent in relatives without the mutation (P = 0.003). CONCLUSION: LVNC and HCM may appear as overlapping entities. The ACTC E101K mutation should be considered in the genetic diagnosis of LVNC, apical HCM, and septal defects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
