Analysis of the Association between Copy Number Variation and Ventricular Fibrillation in ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction

Sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) during ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) significantly contributes to cardiovascular-related deaths. Although VF has been linked to genetic factors, variations in copy number variation (CNV), a significant source of genetic va...

description Sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) during ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) significantly contributes to cardiovascular-related deaths. Although VF has been linked to genetic factors, variations in copy number variation (CNV), a significant source of genetic variation, have remained largely unexplored in this context. To address this knowledge gap, this study performed whole exome sequencing analysis on a cohort of 39 patients with STEAMI who experienced VF, aiming to elucidate the role of CNVs in this pathology. The analysis revealed CNVs in the form of duplications in the <i>PARP2</i> and <i>TTC5</i> genes as well as CNVs in the form of deletions in the <i>MUC15</i> and <i>PPP6R1</i> genes, which could potentially serve as risk indicators for VF during STEAMI. The analysis also underscores notable CNVs with an average gene copy number equal to or greater than four in <i>DEFB134</i>, <i>FCGR2C</i>, <i>GREM1</i>, <i>PARM1</i>, <i>SCG5</i>, and <i>UNC79</i> genes. These findings provide further insight into the role of CNVs in VF in the context of STEAMI.
