Primary triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (P-TGCV), caused by a rare genetic mutation in <i>PNPLA2</i> encoding adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), exhibits severe cardiomyocyte steatosis and heart failure. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old man with P-TGCV homozygous for a novel <i>PNPLA2</i> mutation (c.446C > G, P149R) in the catalytic domain of ATGL. Analyses of endomyocardial biopsy specimens and <i>in vitro</i> expression experiments showed mutant protein expression with co ...[more]
