    Rare clinical phenotype of filaminopathy presenting as restrictive cardiomyopathy and myopathy in childhood

  • Original language description

    BACKGROUND: FLNC is one of the few genes associated with all types of cardiomyopathies, but it also underlies neuromuscular phenotype. The combination of concomitant neuromuscular and cardiac involvement is not often observed in filaminopathies and the impact of this on the disease prognosis has hitherto not been analyzed. RESULTS: Here we provide a detailed clinical, genetic, and structural prediction analysis of distinct FLNC-associated phenotypes based on twelve pediatric cases. They include early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) in association with congenital myopathy. In all patients the initial diagnosis was established during the first year of life and in five out of twelve (41.7%) patients the first symptoms were observed at birth. RCM was present in all patients, often in combination with septal defects. No ventricular arrhythmias were noted in any of the patients presented here. Myopathy was confirmed by neurological examination, electromyography, and morphological studies. Arthrogryposes was diagnosed in six patients and remained clinically meaningful with increasing age in three of them. One patient underwent successful heart transplantation at the age of 18 years and two patients are currently included in the waiting list for heart transplantation. Two died due to congestive heart failure. One patient had ICD instally as primary prevention of SCD. In ten out of twelve patients the disease was associated with missense variants and only in two cases loss of function variants were detected. In half of the described cases, an amino acid substitution A1186V, altering the structure of IgFLNc10, was found. CONCLUSIONS: The present description of twelve cases of early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy with congenital myopathy and FLNC mutation, underlines a distinct unique phenotype that can be suggested as a separate clinical form of filaminopathies. Amino acid substitution A1186V, which was observed in half of the cases, defines a mutational hotspot for the reported combination of myopathy and cardiomyopathy. Several independent molecular mechanisms of FLNC mutations linked to filamin structure and function can explain the broad spectrum of FLNC-associated phenotypes. Early disease presentation and unfavorable prognosis of heart failure demanding heart transplantation make awareness of this clinical form of filaminopathy of great clinical importance.
