Abstract
TAF1A, a gene encoding a TATA-box binding protein involved in ribosomal RNA synthesis, is a candidate gene for pediatric cardiomyopathy as biallelic TAF1A variants were reported in two families with affected individuals. Here, we report a third family with two siblings who presented with infantile restrictive cardiomyopathy and carried biallelic missense variants in TAF1A (NM_001201536.1:c.1021G>A p.(Gly341Arg) and c.781A>C p.(Thr261Pro)). Additional shared clinical features in the siblings included feeding intolerance, congenital leukoencephalopathy, ventriculomegaly and concern for primary immunodeficiency. The first-born sibling passed away at 6 months of age due to complications of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) whereas the second sibling underwent cardiac transplantation at 1 year of age and is currently well. We compare the clinical and molecular features of all the TAF1A associated cardiomyopathy cases. Our study adds evidence for the gene-disease association of TAF1A with autosomal recessive pediatric cardiomyopathy.
