Description

The p.R145G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.433C>G), located in coding exon 7 of the TNNI3 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 433. The arginine at codon 145 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This mutation was reported to co-segregate with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical hypertrophy, and related features in a large Korean family and was also reported in a Chinese proband with HCM (Kimura et al. Nat Genet. 1997;16(4):379-82; Choi et al. Clin Cardiol. 2010l;33(7):430-8; Zhao Y et al. Biomed Res Int. 2015;2015:561819). In addition, other alterations affecting the same amino acid, p.R145Q (c.434G>A) and p.R145W (c.433C>T), have been reported in association with HCM and restrictive cardiomyopathy (Mogensen et al. J Clin Invest. 2003;111(2):209-16; Mogensen et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2004;44(12):2315-25). Furthermore, in vitro studies and transgenic mouse models suggest that this mutation results in slowed rate and reduced ability of cardiac fibers to relax in the absence of calcium (James et al. Circ Res. 2000; 87(9):805-11; Lang et al. J Biol Chem. 2002;277(14):11670-8; Wen et al. J Biol Chem. 2008;283(29):20484-94). Based on the supporting evidence, p.R145G is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
