In this study, we aimed to clinically and genetically characterize LVNC patients investigate the prevalence of variants in known novel disease genes.Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is an increasingly recognized cause heart failure, arrhythmia, thromboembolism, sudden cardiac death. We sought here dissect its genetic causes, phenotypic presentation outcome.In our registry with follow-up median 61 months, analysed 95 (68 unrelated index 27 affected relatives; definite...

Biochemical DNA modification resembles a crucial regulatory layer among genetic information, environmental factors, and the transcriptome. To identify epigenetic susceptibility regions novel biomarkers linked to myocardial dysfunction heart failure, we performed first multi-omics study in tissue blood of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy controls.Infinium human methylation 450 was used for high-density epigenome-wide mapping left-ventricular biopsies whole peripheral living probands. RNA...

Alternative mRNA splicing is a fundamental process to increase the versatility of genome. In humans, cardiac involved in pathophysiology heart failure. Mutations factor RNA binding motif protein 20 (RBM20) cause severe forms cardiomyopathy. To identify novel cardiomyopathy-associated factors, RNA-seq and tissue-enrichment analyses were performed, which identified up-regulated expression Sam68-Like mammalian 2 (SLM2) left ventricle dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. human heart, SLM2...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is getting routinely used in the diagnosis of hereditary diseases, such as human cardiomyopathies. Hence, it utter importance to secure high quality data, enabling identification disease-relevant mutations or conclusion negative test results. During process sample preparation, each protocol for target enrichment library preparation has its own requirements control (QC); however, there little evidence on actual impact these guidelines resulting data quality....

Abstract Can the transcriptomic profile of a neuron predict its physiological properties? Using Patch-seq dataset primary visual cortex, we addressed this question by focusing on spike rate adaptation (SRA), well-known phenomenon that depends small conductance calcium (Ca)-dependent potassium (SK) channels. We first show in parvalbumin-expressing (PV) and somatostatin-expressing (SST) interneurons (INs), expression levels genes encoding ion channels underlying action potential generation are...

The search for a parameter representing left ventricular relaxation from non-invasive and invasive diagnostic tools has been extensive, since heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HF-pEF) is global health problem. We explore here the feasibility using patient-specific cardiac computer modeling to capture diastolic parameters in patients suffering different degrees of systolic HF. Fifty eight idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy have undergone thorough clinical evaluation,...
