Objective: Comprehensive screening for 7 genes encoding sarcomeric proteins were performed in consented autopsy cases diagnosed as cardiomyopathies (CMs), and the possibility of the genetic based diagnosis by screening for these genes was also examined. Methods: Blood samples and left ventricular samples were obtained from 37 sudden cardiac death cases caused by CMs and 200 blood samples were used as controls. Primers covering all coding exons were designed. DNA samples were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR products were sequenced by direct sequencing with the ABI 3130 genetic analyzer. Results: Twenty-two mutations were detected in only the CM cases, including 4 new mutations. Forty-eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also detected. Significant differences in allele frequencies between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and controls, and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and controls were found in c.68-5delC and c.348 C>T in TNNT2, and c.258T>A in TNNI3 and c.1927+89C>G in MYBPC3, respectively. It was indicated that at least 3 SNPs (c.68-5delC, c.348C>T and c.25-8T>A) and 2 SNPs (c.348C>T and c.1927+89C>G) were important to genetic based diagnosis of HCM and DCM, respectively. Conclusions: Our data clearly suggested that genetic analysis of disease causing genes encoding sarcomeric proteins was useful to decide the diagnosis of CMs for forensic autopsy cases and to help prevent further deaths caused by CMs in their families.
