Aim To determine specific clinical characteristics caused by a combination of the rs397516037 pathogenic variant in the myosin-binding protein C (MTBPC3) and the rs749628307 polymorphic variant in the vinculin (VCL) gene in a Russian family of carriers and to evaluate the contribution of the rs749628307 polymorphic variant in the VCL gene to the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP).Material and methods The family under study included one healthy person and 3 patients with HCMP. A targeted analysis of proband's exome was performed. A structural alignment for both forms of the VCL protein, the canonical form and the form with p.Arg230His substitution, was performed.Results The pathogenic rs397516037 variant and the potentially pathogenic rs749628307 variant were detected in the proband and several family members. A possibly damaging variant rs749628307 was detected in the proband and several family members evaluated in this study. The structural alignment confirmed that the rs749628307 variant did not alter the protein structure significantly and could not cause an impairment or loss of the protein function.Conclusion This study demonstrated that apparently the rs749628307 variant in the VCL gene does not affect the protein structure in a pathogenetically significant way, neither does it affect the severity and form of the clinical manifestations of HCMP; therefore, it cannot be considered as pathogenic.
