Complex phenotype linked to a mutation in exon 11 of the lamin A/C gene: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrioventricular block, severe dyslipidemia and diabetes

The lamin A/C (LMNA) gene encodes lamins A and C, which have an important role in nuclear cohesion and chromatin organization. Mutations in this gene usually lead to the so-called laminopathies, the primary cardiac manifestations of which are dilated cardiomyopathy and intracardiac conduction defect...

description The lamin A/C (LMNA) gene encodes lamins A and C, which have an important role in nuclear cohesion and chromatin organization. Mutations in this gene usually lead to the so-called laminopathies, the primary cardiac manifestations of which are dilated cardiomyopathy and intracardiac conduction defects. Some mutations, associated with lipodystrophy but not cardiomyopathy, have been linked to metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes and severe dyslipidemia. Herein we describe a new phenotype associated with a mutation in exon 11 of the LMNA gene: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, atrioventricular block, severe dyslipidemia and diabetes.A 64-year-old woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a point mutation in exon 11 of the LMNA gene (c.1718C>T, Ser573Leu) presented with severe symptomatic ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. She underwent septal alcohol ablation, followed by Morrow myectomy. The patient was also diagnosed with severe dyslipidemia, diabetes and obesity, and fulfilled diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. No other characteristics of LMNA mutation-related phenotypes were identified. The development of type III atrioventricular block with no apparent cause, and mildly depressed systolic function, prompted referral for cardiac resynchronization therapy.In conclusion, the association between LMNA mutations and different phenotypes is complex and not fully understood, and can present with a broad spectrum of severity. Resumo: O gene LMNA codifica a lâmina A/C, com importante papel na manutenção da coesão nuclear e organização da cromatina. Mutações neste gene estão geralmente associadas a doenças denominadas laminopatias. As manifestações cardíacas primárias destas mutações são miocardiopatia dilatada e defeitos da condução intracardíaca. Algumas mutações, associadas a lipodistrofia, mas não cardiomiopatia, estão também associadas a alterações metabólicas, como diabetes ou dislipidemia grave. Assim, descrevemos um novo fenótipo associado a uma mutação no exão 11 do gene LMNA: miocardiopatia hipertrófica, bloqueio auriculoventricular, dislipidemia grave e diabetes.Apresentamos a situação clínica de uma doente de 64 anos de idade, com miocardiopatia hipertrófica e mutação patogénica identificada no exão 11 do gene LMNA (c.1718C>T, Ser573Leu). A doente apresentou-se com hipertrofia ventricular grave sintomática, obstrutiva, refratária à terapêutica médica. Foi submetida a ablação septal por álcool e, posteriormente, a miectomia cirúrgica. Foi também diagnosticada dislipidemia grave, diabetes e obesidade, cumprindo os critérios para síndrome metabólica. Não foi identificada nenhuma outra característica fenotípica associada a mutações no gene LMNA. A doente foi ainda submetida a terapêutica de ressincronização cardíaca após o desenvolvimento de bloqueio auriculoventricular completo, sem causa aparente, na presença de ligeiro compromisso da função sistólica ventricular.A correlação de mutações no gene LMNA com diferentes fenótipos é complexa e ainda não completamente compreendida, englobando um largo espectro de gravidade clínica.
