CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
Downloaded from http://ahajournals.org by on December 7, 2019
Mutations in LMNA (lamin A/C) gene are associated with several cardiac phenotypes, including cardiac conduction disturbance, atrial or ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and dilated cardiomyopathy, resulting in heart failure or sudden cardiac death;
however, risk stratification for LMNA-related cardiomyopathy has been still controversial. This multicenter cohort study has
shown a high prevalence of these cardiac disorders and major cardiac events in the LMNA mutation carriers, and multivariable analyses revealed that the truncation mutation in LMNA gene was associated with a risk for earlier onset of cardiac
conduction disturbance and the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias and low left ventricular ejection fraction, suggesting more
intensive follow-up is necessary in patients carrying truncation mutations. On the contrary, even though a missense mutation, the LMNA mutation carriers have some risk for the cardiac disorders and significant cardiac mortality. Moreover, this
study included only for subjects with typical LMNA-related cardiomyopathy called laminopathy and their relatives but not
included forme fruste LMNA carriers. Therefore, this study does not entirely clarify the full view of how LMNA mutations
manifest. Regarding the indication for device-based therapy, we would recommend the subjects carrying LMNA truncation
mutations to receive implantable cardioverter defibrillators (or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators) because
of their high incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias observed over 40 years old. However, this study was not designed
to determine the effect of implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy on mortality or quality of daily activity, we cannot
completely define the efficacy of prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation in the early age. Further
prospective study may disclose appropriate indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator) implantation for LMNA mutation carriers.

Methods
Genetic analysis
Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes using a
DNA isolation kit for Mammalian Blood (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland). Standard
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were derived from intronic sequences (Table S1)
to amplify the 12 protein-coding exons of LMNA. Mutational screenings of PCR amplicons
were performed by direct sequencing on an ABI PRISM 3130x Genetic Analyzer (Thermo
Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts) by using BigDye Terminator chemistry (v1.1 or
3.1) according to standard protocols. Reference sequences used in this study are as follows:
LMNA gene: NCBI NC_000001; LMNA messenger ribonucleic acid: NCBI NM_170707;
lamin A protein: NCBI NP_733821; LMNC messenger ribonucleic acid: NCBI NM_005572;
lamin C protein: NCBI NP_005563. Mutations were categorized in two ways based on type
and site.
Bioinformatic analysis
Mutations present in the dbSNP build 146 or published in the literature were identified. All
non-matching variants were filtered using a minor allele frequency threshold <0.3% based
on the Human Genetic Variation Database (http://www.genome.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/SnpDB/),
which
included
the
Japanese
population,
Exome
Aggregation
Consortium
(http://exac.broadinstitute.org), and ClinVar (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/). All
single base substitutions without changes in the coding amino acid were screened by a
splicing site prediction tool (Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project: http://www.fruitfly.org),
and the possibility of aberrant splicing was estimated. The candidate variant was considered
as a pathogenic mutation if it generated a stop codon, a frameshift of the open reading frame,
or an aberrant splice site. The pathogenicity of novel missense variants was screened by in
silico
predictions
using
Polyphen2
(http://genetics.bwh.harvard.edu/pph2/),
SIFT
(http://sift.jcvi.org/), and Condel (http://bg.upf.edu/fannsdb/). A novel missense variant was
considered pathogenic if classified as ‘probably damaging’ by Polyphen2, ‘damaging’ by
SIFT, or predicted to be ‘deleterious’ by Condel.

Number of subjects is expressed as n (%). Continuous variables are shown as mean ± standard deviation.
SCD = sudden cardiac death; CCD = cardiac conduction disturbance; CRTD = cardiac resynchronization
therapy with defibrillator; SSS = sick sinus syndrome; AV block = atrio-ventricular block; LV = left
ventricular; EF = ejection fraction; PM = pacemaker; ICD = implantable cardioverter defibrillator; ACE-I =
angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin receptor blocker; VF = ventricular fibrillation
Supplemental Figure
Figure S1
Comparison of age at the onset of major cardiac phenotypes in 77 LMNA mutation carriers
between probands and their relatives (blank triangle: probands vs. solid triangle: relatives).
CCD = cardiac conduction disturbance; AA = atrial arrhythmias; LVEF = left ventricular
ejection fraction.
Figure S2
Comparison of age at the onset of major cardiac phenotypes in 77 LMNA mutation carriers
between with NLS-conserved residue (blank inverted triangle) and NLS-disturbed residue
(solid inverted triangle:). CCD = cardiac conduction disturbance; AA = atrial arrhythmias;
LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; NLS = nuclear localization signal.
Figure S3
Comparison of age at the onset of major cardiac phenotypes in 77 LMNA mutation carriers
by gender (blank circle: female vs. solid circle: male). CCD = cardiac conduction
disturbance; AA = atrial arrhythmias; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction.
