To determine the mode of inheritance of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), 367 relatives from 70 familes with HC were studied by M-mode and 2-dimensional echocardiography (2-D echo). Inspection of individual family pedigrees suggested that HC was genetically transmitted in 39 pedigrees (56%) and probably sporadic in 31 (44%). Of the 39 pedigrees with familial occurrence, 30 had patterns of inheritance that were most consistent with autosomal dominant transmission. A complex mathematical pedigree analysis determined that patterns of genetic transmission observed in the overall study group were not consistent with known models of autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive of X-linked inheritance, and did not support a unified concept of single-gene Mendelian transmission for all families. The proportion of 1st-degree relatives affected by HC was 22%, with HC more common in fathers of the proband and least common in offspring. About 20% of the affected relatives (10 of 53) appeared to have inherited a subclinical form of HC, in which the sole evidence of HC was the morphologic expression detectable only with echocardiography. Probands and affected relatives differed distinctly with regard to the expression of HC. Probands most often showed functional limitation (81%), subaortic obstruction at rest (53%), particularly diffuse distribution of left ventricular hypertrophy (59%) and marked septal thickening (mean 23 mm). In contrast, affected relatives were characterized by absence of functional limitation (72%) and subaortic obstruction (94%), localized and unusual sites of hypertrophy (60%) and only modest septal thickening (mean 17 mm). Probands with the familial or sporadic forms of HC did not differ with regard to the phenotypic expression (clinical or morphologic) of their disease. No single mode of inheritance is typical of HC, although autosomal dominant transmission is most common; a variety of phenotypic expressions occur that appear to have genetic as well as nongenetic causes, suggesting that HC may not be a single etiologically distinct disease entity; and genetic counseling recommendations should be influenced by the particular pattern of inheritance demonstrated in each family.
