A single missense variant of the /LAP2α gene, encoding LAP2 proteins, has been associated with cardiomyopathy in two brothers. To further evaluate its role in cardiac muscle, we included in our cardiomyopathy diagnostic gene panel. A screening of ~5000 patients revealed three novel rare heterozygous variants in six males diagnosed with hypertrophic or dilated cardiomypathy. We identified in different cellular models that (1) the frameshift variant LAP2α p.(Gly395Glufs*11) induced haploinsufficiency, impeding cell proliferation and/or producing a truncated protein mislocalized in the cytoplasm; (2) the C-ter missense variant LAP2α p.(Ala240Thr) led to a reduced proximity events between LAP2α and the nucleosome binding protein HMGN5; and (3) the LEM-domain missense variant p.(Leu124Phe) decreased both associations of LAP2α/β with the chromatin-associated protein BAF and inhibition of the E2F1 transcription factor activity which is known to be dependent on Rb, partner of LAP2α. Additionally, the LAP2α expression was lower in the left ventricles of male mice compared to females. In conclusion, our study reveals distinct altered properties of LAP2 induced by these /LAP2 variants, leading to altered cell proliferation, chromatin structure or gene expression-regulation pathways, and suggests a potential sex-dependent role of LAP2 in myocardial function and disease.< Réduire
