- Abstract
- Pathogenic variants in genes related to channelopathy and cardiomyopathy are the most common cause of sudden unexplained cardiac death. However, few reports have investigated the frequency and/or spectrum of pathogenic variants in these genes in Korean sudden cardiac arrest survivors. This study aimed to investigate the causative genetic variants of cardiac-associated genes in Korean sudden cardiac arrest survivors. We performed exome sequencing followed by filtering and validation of variants in 100 genes related to channelopathy and cardiomyopathy in 19 Korean patients who survived sudden cardiac arrest. Five of the 19 patients (26.3%) had either a pathogenic variant or a likely pathogenic variant in MYBPC3 (n = 1), MYH7 (n = 1), RYR2 (n = 2), or TNNT2 (n = 1). All five variants were missense variants that have been reported previously in patients with channelopathies or cardiomyopathies. Furthermore, an additional 12 patients (63.2%) had more than one variant of uncertain significance. In conclusion, pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in genes related to channelopathy and cardiomyopathy are not uncommon in Korean sudden cardiac arrest survivors and cardiomyopathy-related genes should be included in the molecular diagnosis of sudden cardiac arrest in Korea.
