Monogenic and Polygenic Contributions to QTc Prolongation in the Population

Victor Nauffal et al.

Summary: Using data from large-scale biorepositories, this study found 54 independent loci associated with cardiac repolarization, including 21 novel loci. The findings suggest that both rare variants in genes underlying cardiac repolarization and polygenic risk play a role in determining the duration of QT interval in the population.

GENESIS: Gene-Specific Machine Learning Models for Variants of Uncertain Significance Found in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia and Long QT Syndrome-Associated Genes

Rachel L. Draelos et al.

Summary: This study developed gene-specific machine learning models to predict the pathogenicity of variants in genes associated with cardiac channelopathies. The results showed that the models performed well in prediction and may play a role in post-genetic testing diagnostic analyses by providing high performance prediction of variant pathogenicity.

Genome-wide association analyses identify new Brugada syndrome risk loci and highlight a new mechanism of sodium channel regulation in disease susceptibility

Julien Barc et al.

Summary: This study identifies new susceptibility loci for Brugada syndrome through a genome-wide association meta-analysis. Functional studies suggest that microtubule-related trafficking effects on sodium channel expression may be an underlying molecular mechanism. These findings provide new insights into the genetic architecture and molecular underpinnings of Brugada syndrome.

A massively parallel assay accurately discriminates between functionally normal and abnormal variants in a hotspot domain of KCNH2

Chai-Ann Ng et al.

Summary: This study used a massively parallel trafficking assay to characterize single-nucleotide variants in exon 2 of the KCNH2 gene, finding that 42% of variants caused at least a 50% reduction in protein trafficking, and 65% of these variants showed a dominant-negative effect when co-expressed with a WT KCNH2 allele. The massively parallel trafficking assay was more accurate in discriminating between functionally normal and abnormal variants compared to bioinformatic prediction tools.

Disease-specific variant pathogenicity prediction significantly improves variant interpretation in inherited cardiac conditions

Xiaolei Zhang et al.

Summary: The disease-specific variant classifier CardioBoost demonstrates superior performance in accurately distinguishing disease-causing from benign variants, prioritizing disease-associated variants, and stratifying patient outcomes in inherited cardiac conditions. Its high global discrimination accuracy and improved confidence in variant classification suggest broad opportunities for enhanced pathogenicity prediction through disease specificity.

Structure of human Nav1.5 reveals the fast inactivation-related segments as a mutational hotspot for the long QT syndrome

Zhangqiang Li et al.

Summary: Na(v)1.5 is the primary voltage-gated Na+ channel in the heart, mutations of which are associated with various cardiac disorders. The study reveals the structural distribution of mutations associated with LQT3 and BrS, with a focus on a mutational hotspot involving the fast inactivation segments and proposing a door wedge model for fast inactivation. This structural analysis establishes a structure-function relationship for understanding the mechanistic of Na(v)1.5 channelopathies.

Promise and Peril of Population Genomics for the Development of Genome-First Approaches in Mendelian Cardiovascular Disease

Victoria N. Parikh

Summary: The rich tradition of cardiovascular genomics has positioned the field to advance towards a genome-first approach, leveraging population-scale genomic data to elucidate variant pathogenicity. However, the implementation of this approach is limited by characteristics of the studied populations and evolutionary constraints on human Mendelian variation. Successful adoption of a genome-first approach to rare cardiovascular disease will require a nuanced integration of population-based discovery with detailed investigation of rare disease cohorts and prospective variant evaluation.

MLb-LDLr A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants

Asier Larrea-Sebal et al.

Summary: Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can lead to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the LDLr gene are the major cause of FH, and a reliable machine learning model has been developed to accurately predict the pathogenicity of LDLr missense variants, aiding in early diagnosis and management of FH disease.
