PG - 51 LID - 10.1186/s12968-019-0555-2 [doi] LID - 51 AB - BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is associated with RV remodeling and long-term outcomes in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Pre-operative hypoxia may increase expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF1alpha) and promote transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFbeta1)-mediated fibrosis. We hypothesized that there would be associations between: (1) RV fibrosis and RV function, (2) HIF1alpha variants and RV fibrosis, and (3) HIF1alpha variants and RV function among post-surgical TOF cases. METHODS: We retrospectively measured post-surgical fibrotic load (indexed volume and fibrotic score) from 237 TOF cases who had existing cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and indicators of RV remodeling (i.e., ejection fraction [RVEF] and end-diastolic volume indexed [RVEDVI]). Genetic data were available in 125 cases. Analyses were conducted using multivariable linear mixed-effects regression with a random intercept and multivariable generalized Poisson regression with a random intercept. RESULTS: Indexed fibrotic volume and fibrotic score significantly decreased RVEF by 1.6% (p = 0.04) and 0.9% (p = 0.03), respectively. Indexed fibrotic volume and score were not associated with RVEDVI. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, 6 of the 48 HIF1alpha polymorphisms (representing two unique signals) were associated with fibrotic score. None of the HIF1alpha polymorphisms were associated with indexed fibrotic volume, RVEDVI, or RVEF. CONCLUSION: The association of some HIF1alpha polymorphisms and fibrotic score suggests that HIF1alpha may modulate the fibrotic response in TOF.
