1 Risk prediction in inherited conditions Laminopathies Karim Wahbi Cochin hospital, Paris

2 Risk prediction in laminopathies Current approach for risk stratification A new score to predict malignant VTA Perspectives for risk stratification for sudden death in dilated cardiomyopathy

3 Laminopathies: the first descriptions Gene - LMNA Proteins Lamins A/C LMNA Lamin A Lamin C Bonne et al. Nature Genet Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: LMNA mutations in 5% of cases

4 Laminopathies: arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies with a high risk of sudden death Meta-analysis (233 patients) Sudden death = 35 (11.7%, 46% of all deaths) Pacemaker recipients = 84 SD=16 (19%) Arrhythmias Pacemaker 19 patients with an indication for permanent pacing (age=41.7±13.4 years) LVEF>45% ICD implantation Follow-up duration = 33.9 ± 1.0 months malignant VTA in 8 patients 30 years Heart Failure Implantable cardiac defibrillators (rather than pacemakers) Meune C, et al. N Engl J Med ;354: van Berlo JH et al. J Mol Med. 2005;83:79-83.

5 Risk stratification for sudden death: the current strategy European registry (Cardiology tertiary centers) N = 269 patients (Age=36 years [27-45]) Follow up = 43 months [17-101] Malignant ventricular arrhythmia in 48 patients (4.7%/year) Multivariate analysis: 4 risk factors (1) Male (2) Non missense mutation (3) NSVT (4) LVEF<45% van Rijsingen IA, Arbustini E, Elliott PM, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2012;59:

6 Why developing a score to predict VTA in laminopathies? 1. Risk score calculation is the best approach to assess patient prognosis (consider number of prognostic factors & provide an estimate of patients absolute risk of an event) 2. Questions raised by the current score: Conduction system disease is absent from risk predictors Some specific situations Male + truncating mutation + no NSVT + LVEF=65%? Female + AVB1 + AF + LVEF=50%?

7 Patient selection Derivation cohort France OPALE: Nationwide Registry on Laminopathies 660 Patients diagnosed with pathogenic LMNA mutations between January 2000 and Nov 2016 Validation cohort UK - Barts Heart centre US - Brigham and Women s Hospital, Boston Tertiary cardiology referral centers 179 Patients diagnosed with pathogenic LMNA mutations between 2000 and June Excluded 23 With first visit to cardiologist before January Malignant VTA prior to baseline 39 Age <16 years 38 Neuromuscular and systemic disease with onset before 16 years 3 With other cardiomyopathy mutations 92 Absence of any clinical data 34 Excluded 4 First visit to cardiologist before January Malignant VTA prior to baseline 2 Absence of any clinical data 3 Transplant prior to baseline Study population of 444 patients with adult-onset laminopathies Study population of 145 patients with adult-onset laminopathies
