Although most founder mutation carriers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), such as the cardiac myosin-binding protein C gene (MYBPC3), arose from a common ancestor exhibit favorable clinical phenotypes, there still remain small fractions of these carriers associated with increased cardiovascular events. However, few data exist regarding the defining factors that modify phenotypes of these patients, particularly in terms of multiple gene mutations. Therefore, we assessed genotype-phenotype correlations and investigated factors that contribute to phenotypic diversities of mutation carriers from 488 unrelated HCM probands. A prevalent founder mutation (Val762Asp) in MYBPC3 was identified in 33 subjects from 19 families. Among them, 28 carriers harbored an isolated Val762Asp mutation and exhibited a late onset of overt HCM compared with other MYBPC3 mutation carriers (62.8 ± 3.0 vs 50.1 ± 2.6 yr, P < 0.05). In contrast, the remaining five carriers had additional sarcomere gene mutations (3 carriers in MYBPC3 and 2 carriers in the cardiac troponin T gene). Of these five carriers, two carriers showed early disease onset and one carrier exhibited end-stage HCM. These phenotypes were recapitulated in zebrafish models; injection of MYBPC3 Val762Asp alone did not alter ventricular size or function, but ventricular dimension was significantly increased when MYBPC3 Val762Asp mRNA was coinjected with MYBPC3 Arg820Gln mRNA. These results demonstrate that MYBPC3 Val762Asp may be associated with unfavorable HCM phenotypes in some cases when combined with another MYBPC3 mutation.

Common variation at the 11p11.2 locus, encompassing MADD, ACP2, NR1H3, MYBPC3, and SPI1, has been associated in genome-wide association studies with fasting glucose and insulin (FI). In the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Targeted Sequencing Study, we sequenced 5 gene regions at 11p11.2 to identify rare, potentially functional variants influencing fasting glucose or FI levels. Sequencing (mean depth, 38×) across 16.1 kb in 3566 individuals without diabetes mellitus identified 653 variants, 79.9% of which were rare (minor allele frequency <1%) and novel. We analyzed rare variants in 5 gene regions with FI or fasting glucose using the sequence kernel association test. At NR1H3, 53 rare variants were jointly associated with FI (P=2.73×10(-3)); of these, 7 were predicted to have regulatory function and showed association with FI (P=1.28×10(-3)). Conditioning on 2 previously associated variants at MADD (rs7944584, rs10838687) did not attenuate this association, suggesting that there are >2 independent signals at 11p11.2. One predicted regulatory variant, chr11:47227430 (hg18; minor allele frequency=0.00068), contributed 20.6% to the overall sequence kernel association test score at NR1H3, lies in intron 2 of NR1H3, and is a predicted binding site for forkhead box A1 (FOXA1), a transcription factor associated with insulin regulation. In human HepG2 hepatoma cells, the rare chr11:47227430 A allele disrupted FOXA1 binding and reduced FOXA1-dependent transcriptional activity. Sequencing at 11p11.2-NR1H3 identified rare variation associated with FI. One variant, chr11:47227430, seems to be functional, with the rare A allele reducing transcription factor FOXA1 binding and FOXA1-dependent transcriptional activity.
