The FLNC Ala1186Val Variant Linked to Cytoplasmic Body Myopathy and Cardiomyopathy Causes Protein Instability

Résumé

Filamin C-related disorders include myopathies and cardiomyopathies linked to variants in the FLNC gene. Filamin C belongs to a family of actin-binding proteins involved in sarcomere stability. This study investigates the pathogenic impact of the FLNC c.3557C > T (p.Ala1186Val) pathogenic variant associated with an early-onset cytoplasmic body myopathy and cardiomyopathy in three unrelated patients. We performed clinical imaging and myopathologic and genetic characterization of three patients with an early-onset myopathy and cardiomyopathy. Bioinformatics analysis, variant interpretation, and protein structure analysis were performed to validate and assess the effects of the filamin C variant. All patients presented with a homogeneous clinical phenotype marked by a severe contractural myopathy, leading to loss of gait. There was prominent respiratory involvement and restrictive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathies. The Ala1186Val variant is located in the interstrand loop involved in intradomain stabilization and/or interdomain interactions with neighbor Ig-like domains. 3D modeling highlights local structural changes involving nearby residues and probably impacts the protein stability, causing protein aggregation in the form of cytoplasmic bodies. Myopathologic studies have disclosed the prominent aggregation and upregulation of the aggrephagy-associated proteins LC3B and p62. As a whole, the Ala1186Val variant in the FLNC gene provokes a severe myopathy with contractures, respiratory involvement, and cardiomyopathy due to protein aggregation in patients’ muscles.
