1 Dott.ssa Daria Santini Dottorato di Ricerca in Medicina Sperimentale Genetic Predisposition to Ventricular Arrhythmias and Sudden Death in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited form of heart disease and a leading cause of sudden death (SD) in the young. Mechanisms and substrates triggering ventricular arrhythmia are still poorly understood, and it has been speculated that specific sets of gene mutations/variants may predispose to SD. However, it is not known whether variants of genes encoding ion channels and proteins involved in cardiac remodelling may be candidate to define individual susceptibility to SD or act as riskmodifiers. Study aim Address the question whether gene variants of proteins involved in electrical homeostasis and/or myocardial remodelling can be regarded as predictors of SD or correlate with myocardial fibrosis and/or arrhythmia burden in HCM. Preliminary results Study Population In the first part of the study we provided clinical and genetic characterization of 290 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, including a subgroup of 60 recipients of an implantable defibrillator (implantable cardioverter defibrillator, ICD). Mean age was 40±19 years and the majority were men (n=190; 66%). 83 patients (29%) had obstructive HCM. Common risk factors for SD in this population were unexplained syncope (n= 32; 11%), massive LV hypertrophy (n= 34; 12%), family history of SD (n= 63; 22%), non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (n= 101; 35%) and abnormal exercise blood pressure (n= 23; 8%). Nineteen patients (22%) had end-stage disease (table 1). 1

3 All study patients have been assessed for gene variants of the following systems: - Natriuretic peptides o ProANP o HPaII o Scal o NPRC o BNP - Renin-angiotensin system o AGT 174 o AGT 235 o Aldesterone o AT1-receptor - Cytokines/inflammatory molecules o TNF o IGF-1 receptor o COX-2 o e-nos o CRP o Fibrinogen o TGF-beta1 o IL-6 IL-10 - Calcium handling proteins o Casq2 o Ryr2 o NCX1 o FKBP o SERCA 2 In the second part of the study project, we sought to determine whether the allelic variants of these genes have a role in the expression of certain phenotypes associated with a high risk of SD as massive hypertrophy, late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at MRI and endstage evolution. 3

7 As shown in Table 2, patients with massive left ventricular hypertrophy (n= 24, 8%) showed lower prevalence of AGT174 (p=0.022) and IGF1 gene variant (p=0.001). Moreover, 17 patients with end-stage HCM (6%) displayed lower prevalence of the fibrinogen SNP (p=0.038) (Table 3). Finally, a subgroup of patients underwent also CMR to evaluate LGE as a surrogate marker of myocardial fibrosis. Positive LGE was present in the majority of patients (n=120; 62%). Genetic analysis did not show a significant association between evaluated SNP and myocardial fibrosis. Rome, October 12 th 2014 Dott.ssa Daria Santini Dott. Pietro Francia 7
