Abstract

We report what apprears to be the first case of fetal noncompaction cardiomyopathy in both ventricles accompanied by a mutation in the calmodulin gene (CALM2): A 25-year-old woman was referred to our hospital at 25+1 weeks of gestation for evaluation of fetal defects. A postnatal echocardiography showed biventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy. After terminated the pregnancy, fetal noncompaction cardiomyopathy was comfirmed by autopsy and histopathologic examination. And the whole-exome sequencing of genomic DNA demonstrated a de novo heterozygous mutation (c.389A>G;p.D130G) in CALM2, whereas the parents were normal. In this case report, we highlight the gene mutation in noncompaction cardiomyopathy.
