" /> Left ventricular noncompaction 1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Left ventricular noncompaction 1;

Symbol : LVNC1;

CISMeF acronym : LVNC1;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Left ventricular noncompaction 1 with or without congenital heart defects;

Description : Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is characterized by numerous prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses in hypertrophied and hypokinetic segments of the left ventricle (Sasse-Klaassen et al., 2004). The mechanistic basis is thought to be an intrauterine arrest of myocardial development with lack of compaction of the loose myocardial meshwork. LVNC may occur in isolation or in association with congenital heart disease. Distinctive morphologic features can be recognized on 2-dimensional echocardiography (Kurosaki et al., 1999). Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is sometimes referred to as spongy myocardium. Stollberger et al. (2002) commented that the term 'isolated LVNC,' meaning LVNC without coexisting cardiac abnormalities, is misleading, because additional cardiac abnormalities are found in nearly all patients with LVNC. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Left Ventricular Noncompaction A locus for autosomal dominant left ventricular noncompaction has been identified on chromosome 11p15 (LVNC2; 609470).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-dystrobrevin gene (DTNA, 601239.0001);

Prefixed ID : #604169;
