Objectives: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. So far, only 127 mutations of Titin(TTN) have been reported in patients with different phenotypes such as isolated cardiomyopathies, purely skeletal muscle phenotypes or complex overlapping disorders of muscles. Methods: We applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) to investigate cardiomyopathy patients and a cardiomyopathy-related gene-filtering strategy was used to analyze the disease-causing mutations. Sanger sequencing was applied to confirm the mutation cosegregation in the affected families. Results: A nonsense mutation (c.12325C>T/p.R4109X) and a missense mutation (c.17755G>C/p.G5919R) of TTN were identified in 2 Chinese DCM families, respectively. Both mutations were cosegregated in all affected members of both families. The nonsense mutation is predicted to result in a truncated TTN protein and the missense mutation leads to a substitution of glycine by arginine. Both variants may cause the structure changes of titin protein. Conclusions: We employed WES to detect the mutations of DCM patients and identified 2 novel mutations. Our study expands the spectrum of TTN mutations and offers accurate genetic testing information for DCM patients who are still clinically negative.

Familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with numerous genes, especially those of the sarcomere family. The titin gene (TTN) consists of 365 exons and encodes the largest sarcomere protein (titin) in our bodies. Titin is associated with many diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and DCM. Here we screened three Chinese families affected by DCM, and found that each harbors a stop-gain or splice site mutation in TTN (c.G20137T,c. G52522T,c.44610-2A>C). Assessment of the probands by electrocardiogram, B-mode echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed impaired cardiac function, arrhythmia, or abnormal cardiac structure. In conclusion, using whole exome sequencing, we found three unreported TTN mutations associated with DCM. This has expanded the TTN mutation spectrum of Chinese DCM patients, especially in Henan, the most populous province. These data provide new genetic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of DCM, and will increase our understanding of the relationship between TTN mutation and DCM clinical symptoms.

Background:: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from mutations in the PKHD1 gene on chromosome 6 (6p12), a large gene spanning 470 kb of genomic DNA. Objective: The aim of the present study was to report newly identified mutations in the PKHD1 gene in two Iranian families with PKD. Materials and Methods: Genetic alterations of a 3-month-old boy and a 27-year-old girl with PKD were evaluated using whole-exome sequencing. The PCR direct sequencing was performed to analyse the co-segregation of the variants with the disease in the family. Finally, the molecular function of the identified novel mutations was evaluated by in silico study. Results: In the 3 month-old boy, a novel homozygous frameshift mutation was detected in the PKHD1 gene, which can cause PKD. Moreover, we identified three novel heterozygous missense mutations in ATIC, VPS13B, and TP53RK genes. In the 27-year-old woman, with two recurrent abortions history and two infant mortalities at early weeks due to metabolic and/or renal disease, we detected a novel missense mutation on PKHD1 gene and a novel mutation in ETFDH gene. Conclusion: In general, we have identified two novel mutations in the PKHD1 gene. These molecular findings can help accurately correlate genotype and phenotype in families with such disease in order to reduce patient births through preoperative genetic diagnosis or better management of disorders.
