Background:Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF1A) regulates the myocardial response to hypoxia and hemodynamic load. We investigated the association of HIF1A variants with right ventricular (RV) remodeling after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair.Methods:Children with TOF were genotyped for 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in HIF1A. Genotypes were analyzed for association with RV myocardial protein expression and fibrosis at complete repair (n=42) and RV dilation, fractional area change (FAC), and freedom from pulmonary valve/conduit replacement on follow-up.Results:In 180 TOF patients, mean age at repair was 1.0±0.8 yrs with follow-up at 9.0±3.5 yrs; 82% had moderate-severe pulmonary insufficiency. Freedom from RV re-interventions at 5, 10 and 15 years was 92%, 84% and 67% respectively. Patients with more HIF1A-functioning alleles had higher transforming-growth factor, TGFβ1 expression and more fibrosis at initial repair compared to controls (p<0.05). During follow-up, patients with more HIF1A -functioning alleles showed less RV dilation, better preservation of RV function, and greater freedom from RV re-interventions (p<0.05). This was confirmed in a replication cohort of 69 patients.Conclusions:In children after TOF repair, lower number of HIF1A-functioning alleles were associated with RV dilation and dysfunction suggesting that hypoxia adaptation in unrepaired TOF may influence RV phenotype after repair. |
