Missense LMNA Variant Compromises Nuclear Integrity and Sarcomeric Remodeling in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation, and pathogenic variants in LMNA are a well-established cause of inherited DCM. The LMNA gene encodes nuclear lamins A/C, which maintain nuclear integrity, regulate gene expression and mediate mechanotransduction. Here, we inve...

A novel NDUFS1 missense variant associated with optic atrophy and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Two compound heterozygous variants in the NDUFS1 gene in a patient presenting with optic atrophy are identified including the known variant c.64C>T p.(R22X) and a novel variant c.404G>A p.(G135D), associated with impaired complex I-mediated electron transfer and mitochondrial dysfunction, providing insights into the pa...

A De Novo Gain-of-Function Variant of DNM1L Causes Developmental Encephalopathy.

BACKGROUND Variants in the dynamin 1-like (DNM1L) gene, which encodes dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), can cause encephalopathy due to defective mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission 1 (EMPF1) and optic atrophy 5 (OPA5), two neurodevelopmental disorders with distinct symptoms. Given the critical role of Drp1 in mitoch...

A novel de novo DNM1L mutation linked to mitochondrial fission dysfunction in a pediatric patient with epileptic encephalopathy and refractory seizures

Mitochondrial dynamics are essential for neuronal function, with dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), encoded by the DNM1L gene, playing a key role in mitochondrial fission. Pathogenic variants in DNM1L are associated with a spectrum of severe neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. This study aime...

MAP3K7 Loss of Function Causes Dilated Cardiomyopathy

It is demonstrated that MAP3K7 variants can cause apparently isolated DCM, expanding the phenotypic spectrum of MAP3K7-related disorders, and establishing an association between MAP3K7 loss of function variants and DCM.

Dysregulated Ribonucleoprotein Granules Impair Mitochondrial Function in RBM20-Related Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND Pathogenic variants in RBM20 cause severe dilated cardiomyopathy. Loss-of-function variants disrupt splicing; neomorphic gain-of-function (GoF) variants also mislocalize RBM20 to cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules and are associated with more aggressive disease. The mechanism by which RBM20 mislocalizati...
