Homozygous TNNC1-A8V Causes Impaired Diastolic Function and Restrictive Cardiomyopathy in Children and Mice.
Article in Circulation. Genomic and precision medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPathological variants in
methodsA pediatric proband was identified carrying the TNNC1-A8V variant. Sanger sequencing and cardiac evaluations were performed on several of the proband's family members. A literature search was performed to evaluate the cardiac penetrance of TNNC1-A8V. Additionally, we investigated cardiac contractility in a homozygous A8V mouse model. We assessed left ventricular function in 10- to 12-week-old mice via cardiac catheterization and left ventricular global and segmental myocardial strain analyses. Electrophysiological studies were conducted to evaluate arrhythmic predisposition.
resultsWe report an 8-month-old female homozygous for p.A8V (c.C23T) who presented with bi-atrial enlargement, normal ventricular function, and ventricular tachycardia. Cardiac histology of the proband showed subendocardial vacuolization, endocardial fibrosis, and localized myocardial enhancement. The A8V mouse model showed an elevated end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship, prolonged relaxation time (tau), and impaired ventricular relaxation rate (dP/dt min) compared with controls, consistent with increased myocardial stiffness. Strain analyses further highlighted left ventricular dysfunction and dyssynchrony, and ECG analyses revealed atrial remodeling and enlargement at 10 weeks of age.
conclusionsHomozygous A8V mice recapitulate the severe diastolic dysfunction and early-onset restrictive cardiomyopathy observed in the pediatric proband carrying this pathogenic variant, underscoring the utility of this model for advancing translational research. Identifying myofilament-specific defects opens the door for precision therapies tailored to the underlying molecular disarray.
