TABLE 4.
Typical features of common types of syndromic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (phenocopies).
Disease | Common pathogenic gene variants and protein product | Patterns of inheritance | Clinical features |
Anderson-Fabry disease | GLA – α-galactosidase A | XL | Peripheral neuralgia and autonomic dysfunction. Ischemic strokes and arrhythmias. Angiokeratomas, hearing loss. Microalbuminuria and kidney failure. Female carriers are variably affected. The presentation starts during adolescence. |
Danon disease | LAMP2 – lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 | XL | Skeletal myopathy in proximal muscle groups. Increased serum creatine kinase. Arrhythmias. Female carriers are variably affected. |
Friedreich’s ataxia | FRDA – Frataxin | AR | Progressive ataxia of the limbs. Progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Onset varies throughout adulthood. |
Kearns–Sayre syndrome | Mitochondrial DNA | Mitochondrial | Pigmentary retinopathy. Progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Onset before 20 years. cardiac conduction defects. Increased CSF protein concentration. Cerebellar ataxia. |
Noonan syndrome | PTPN11 (50% of Noonan cases) – tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2 | AD | Prominent forehead, eyes, webbing of neck. Pulmonary valve stenosis, atrial septal defect. Platelet dysfunction and coagulation factors deficiency. Peripheral lymphedema. Pectus excavatum and growth retardation. |
Pompe disease | GAA – acid alpha-glucosidase | AR | Progressive weakness of proximal muscles Macroglossia, hepatomegaly, feeding and respiratory difficulties, hearing loss. Arrhythmias. Onset varies from birth (classic infantile) through adulthood. |
AD, autosomal dominant; AR, autosomal recessive; XL, X-linked; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid.
