Patient 2
Case#: A 36-year-old Italian female
DiseaseAssertion: Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), associated with a homozygous TPM1 p.Asn279His variant.
FamilyInfo: The patient’s parents are first cousins and confirmed heterozygotes for p.Asn279His (Fig 2).The patient’s 75-year-old father was diagnosed with HCM at 42 years of age. He reportedly has a history of heart failure but is currently asymptomatic. The patient’s 67-year-old mother had her first echocardiogram after the patient’s diagnosis.(Table I).
ParentalTesting: Father and mother

CaseHPOFreeText: She was diagnosed with RCM and is being evaluated for heart transplantation. was referred for chest pain, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, significant fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, three-pillow orthopnea and abdominal bloating. Eighteen months previously, she had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cardiomyopathy after developing volume overload while hospitalized for a right oophorectomy and uterine fibroid removal. Her symptoms were consistent with NYHA III–IV heart failure. She has continued to have significant heart failure symptoms that have been difficult to control with medical therapy. Freedom from arrhythmias, however, has been notable. She is currently being considered for orthotopic heart transplantation but her evaluation has been complicated by psychiatric issues.

CaseNotHPOFreeText: She denied syncope and lower extremity edema
CasePreviousTesting: The patients father and mother were tested.
Genotyping Method: Sarcomere gene sequencing
FunctionalAnalysis: used computational analysis and evolutionary conservation to assess the variant of TPM1 p.Asn279His.
