Point mutation R723G in the MYH7 gene causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Heterozygous patients with this mutation exhibit a comparable allelic imbalance of the MYH7 gene. On average 67% of the total MYH7 mRNA are derived from the MYH7R723G-allele and 33% from the MYH7WT allele. Mechanisms underlying mRNA allelic imbalance are largely unknown. We suggest that a different mRNA lifetime of the alleles may cause the allelic drift in R723G patients. A potent regulator of mRNA lifetime is its secondary structure. To test for alterations in the MYH7R723G mRNA structure we used selective 2′-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) analysis. We show significantly different SHAPE reactivity of wild-type and MYH7R723G RNA, which is in accordance with bioinformatically predicted structures. Thus, we provide the first experimental evidence for mRNA secondary structure alterations by the HCM point mutation. We assume that this may result in a prolonged lifetime of MYH7R723G mRNA in vivo and subsequently in the determined allelic imbalance.
