TBX5 mutations in non-Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) malformed hearts

Human Mutation

Abstract

The T-box transcription factor Tbx5 is important in mammalian cardiac development. Mutations in the human TBX5 gene cause Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS), a disorder characterized by heart and upper limb deformities. To determine the role of TBX5 in non-HOS patients with complex cardiac malformations, we analyzed 68 explanted hearts from unrelated patients with various cardiac abnormalities including atrial (ASD), ventricular (VSD) and atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD). Direct sequencing detected nine mutations in diseased cardiac tissues of patients, eight of which are novel. Six mutations would affect amino acids in the T-domain, and one (c.236C>T, p.Ala79Val) is within the recently identified nuclear localization signal (NLS1) region. Further, mutations were found in patients with ASD and AVSD, but not with VSD; and mutations were absent in normal heart tissue of same patients, thus indicating somatic origin. Our results suggest a possible role of somatically occurring TBX5 mutations in congenital heart disease. We show for the first time TBX5 mutations in non-HOS associated cardiac malformations and we identified a novel missense mutation that would impact nuclear localization of TBX5.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
