Bicuspid aortic valve
[ hide ]
Chromosomal map of CHD genes and imbalances.Non syndromic associated genes overview

NOTCH1 (7, 100%)
A congenitally bicuspid aortic valve has 2 functional leaflets. Not included are stenotic or partially fused valves caused by inflammatory processes, such as rheumatic fever. Bicuspid aortic valve is often associated with other left-sided obstructive lesions such as coarctation of the aorta or aortic arch interruption, suggesting a common developmental mechanism.
The normal right and left aortic leaflets form at the junction of the ventricular and arterial ends of the conotruncal channel. The nonseptal leaflet (posterior) cusp normally forms from additional conotruncal channel tissue. Abnormalities in this area lead to the development of a bicuspid valve, often through incomplete separation (or fusion) of valve tissue.

- Support: confirmed: 2 or more independent reports > 1% incidence
- References: PMID:16729972 (population study with screening of similar CHD patients and normal controls
) PMID:16025100 (population study with screening of similar CHD patients and normal controls )
- Inheritance: Isolated nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve
- Incidence: 48 patients with sporadic BAV: 57 heterozygous variants in the analyzed patients, 21 sequence variants within exons and 36 within intronic or 50-UTR sequences; 35 variants were described previously as polymorphisms: 2 sequence variants led to amino acid substitutions and are located in highly conserved regions of the NOTCH1 protein (Mohamed SA et al., 2006). Report of an European-American descent spanning 5 generations with 11 cases of CHD with autosomal-dominant inheritance: aortic valve disease in 9/11 (isolated abnormal aortic valve in 8/11; bicuspid aortic valve in 6/11; associated abnormal mitral valve and VSD in 1/11), isolated VSD in 1/11 and tetralogy of Fallot with a bicuspid pulmonary valve in 1/11: direct sequencing of NOTCH1 in a smaller, unrelated Hispanic family with aortic valve disease revealed a second mutation that segregated with three affected family members, all with bicuspid aortic valve (Garg V et al., 2005).

- Reference: PMID:17662764
- Incidence: 2/70 patients
- Comments: Targeted mutational analysis of NOTCH1 was performed on 192 unrelated patients with BAV/TAA (thoracic aortic aneurysm) (n=48), BAV and normal aorta (n=22), TAV/TAA (n=28), or TAV and normal aorta (n=94) who served as reference alleles. Four unique nonsynonymous (2 missense mutations and 2 polymorphisms) variants were identified in 5 of 48 (10.4%) patients with BAV/TAA compared with only 3 of 144 (2.1%) patients with normal aortas (2/94 reference DNA with trileaflet valves, 1/28 TAV/TAA, and 0/22 with BAV/normal aortas). Further genetic evidence and functional studies are needed (McKellar et al., 2007).
- Reference: PMID:18593716
- Incidence: 3/5 patients
- Comments: In 91 patients with left-ventricular outflow tract obstruction, 14 missense changes were found, while in 208 controls only 8 changes were present. This demonstrates that missense changes in NOTCH1 represent a risk factor for LVOT obstructive lesions. None of the missense changes were de novo (McBride et al., 2008).
- Reference: PMID:16025100
- Incidence: 2/2 patients
- Comments: Two family reports. A mutation was found in 7 members of a family spanning 5 generations with 11 cases of CHD with autosomal-dominant inheritance: aortic valve disease in 9/11 (isolated abnormal aortic valve in 8/11; bicuspid aortic valve in 6/11; associated abnormal mitral valve and VSD in 1/11), isolated VSD in 1/11 and tetralogy of Fallot with a bicuspid pulmonary valve in 1/11. Direct sequencing of NOTCH1 in a smaller, unrelated Hispanic family with aortic valve disease revealed a second mutation that segregated with three affected family members, all with bicuspid aortic valve (Garg V et al., 2005).
- Reference: PMID:16729972
- Incidence: 2/48 patients
- Comments: Both mutations alter highly conserved protein residues, and were absent in >300 normal controls (Mohamed SA et al., 2006).

- Syndromes: Williams-Beuren syndrome (OMIM:194050): autosomal dominant: supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) (isolated or associated with pulmonary artery stenosis, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), aortic coarctation (CoAo), valvular aortic stenosis (VAS), subaortic stenosis, or with multiple peripheral pulmonary arterial stenoses) or isolated pulmonary artery stenosis, elfin face, mental and statural deficiency, characteristic dental malformation, and infantile hypercalcemia
- Incidence: ELN microdeletion in 17/20 patients with Williams-Beuren syndrome: CHD in 16 patients: isolated (2/16) supravalvular aortic stenosis and supravalvular aortic stenosis associated (11/16) with pulmonary artery stenosis (4/11); mitral valve prolapse (3/11); bicuspid aortic valve (3/11); aortic coarctation (2/11), thickened pulmonary valve (2/11); pulmonary valvular stenosis (1/11); supravalvular pulmonary stenosis (1/11); valvular aortic stenosis (1/11); fixed subaortic stenosis (1/11); pulmonary artery stenosis (2/16) associated with pulmonary valvar stenosis (1/2) and with mitral valve prolapse (1/2); and isolated mitral valve prolapse (1/16) (PMID:14666267)

- Syndromes: Cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC) syndrome (OMIM:115150) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by distinctive facial appearance (high forehead with bitemporal constriction, hypoplastic supraorbital ridges, downslanting palpebral fissures, a depressed nasal bridge, posteriorly angulated ears with prominent helices), heart defects (pulmonic stenosis, atrial septal defect, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and mental retardation. Ectodermal abnormalities such as sparse and friable hair, hyperkeratotic skin lesions, and a generalized ichthyosis-like condition

- Reference: PMID:16439621
- Incidence: 1/1 patients
- Comments: Rodriguez-Viciana et al. performed mutation analysis in 23 individuals having CFC syndrome without HRAS or PTPN11 mutations. Eleven BRAF mutations were detected in 18 out of 23 individuals. Additionally, they performed mutation analysis for the MEK1 and MEK2 gene in the 5 patients remaining and detected 2 missense mutations in MEK1 and 1 mutation in MEK2. The patient with the MEK2 mutation presented with bicuspid aortic valve and developed a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

- Syndromes: Kabuki syndrome (OMIM:147920) is characterized by mental retardation, postnatal growth delay, facial dysmorphism (long palpebral fissures with eversion of the lateral third of the lower eyelids (reminiscent of the make-up of actors of Kabuki, a Japanese traditional theatrical form), a broad and depressed nasal tip, large prominent earlobes, a cleft or high-arched palate, scoliosis, short fifth finger, fetal pads, and radiographic abnormalities of the vertebrae, hands, and hip joints.
- Incidence: Kabuki syndrome has an estimated incidence of 1 in 32,000 (Niikawa N et al., 1988).

- Incidence: 3/9 patients
- Comments: Ng S et al., 2010 sequenced the exome of ten unrelated subjects with a clinical diagnosis of Kabuki syndrome. Seven probands had newly identified nonsense or frameshift mutations in the MLL2 gene. Follow-up Sanger sequencing detected MLL2 mutations in two of the three remaining individuals with Kabuki syndrome and in 26 of 43 additional cases. Congenital heart defects were present in 5 out of 9 patients with MLL2 mutations: atrial septal defects in four patients, ventricular septal defects in 4, aortic coarctation in 4, bicuspid aortic valve in 3 and dyrhythmia in 2 patients.
