1p36 deletion syndrome can predispose to pediatric-onset cardiomyopathy. Deletion breakpoints are variable and may delete the transcription factor
. Early studies suggest that deletion of
may underlie cardiomyopathy in patients with 1p36 deletion; however, the prognostic impact of
loss is unknown.
This retrospective cohort included subjects with 1p36 deletion syndrome from 4 hospitals. Prevalence of cardiomyopathy and freedom from death, cardiac transplantation, or ventricular assist device were analyzed. A systematic review cohort was derived for further analysis. A cardiac-specific
knockout mouse (
conditional knockout) was generated. Echocardiography was performed at 4 and 6 to 7 months. Histology staining and qPCR were performed at 7 months to assess fibrosis.
The retrospective cohort included 71 patients. Among individuals with
deleted, 34.5% developed cardiomyopathy versus 7.7% of individuals with
not deleted (
=0.1). In the combined retrospective and systematic review cohort (n=134),
deletion-associated cardiomyopathy risk was recapitulated and significant (29.1% versus 10.8%,
=0.03).
deletion was associated with increased risk of death, cardiac transplant, or ventricular assist device (
=0.04). Among those
deleted, 34.5% of females developed cardiomyopathy versus 16.7% of their male counterparts (
=0.2). We find sex-specific differences in the incidence and the severity of contractile dysfunction and fibrosis in female
conditional knockout mice. Further, female
conditional knockout mice demonstrate significantly elevated risk of mortality (
=0.0003).
deletion is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiomyopathy and cardiac mortality.
conditional knockout mice develop cardiomyopathy in a sex-biased way. Patients with
deletion should be assessed for cardiac disease.
