OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship among age, septal morphological subtype, and presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-associated myofilament mutations.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Comprehensive mutation analysis of the 8 HCM susceptibility genes that encode the myofilaments of the cardiac sarcomere was performed previously In 382 unrelated patients with HCM. Blinded to genotype status, we used echocardiography to characterize the left ventricular morphological features. Multivariate regression was used to assess the relationship among morphological subtypes, clinical data, and genetic variables.RESULTS: The mean SO age of the patients was 4.1.6 +/- 19.0 years, with 126 patients 50 years or older at initial diagnosis. The septal morphological subtype was sigmoid In 181 (47%), reverse In 132 (35%), apical variant In 37 (10%), and neutral In 32 (13%). The HCM-associated myofliament mutations were Identified in 143 patients (37%). Multivariate analysis showed that the reverse curvature septal morphological subtype was a strong predictor of genotype-positive status (odds ratio, 21; P
