Mutations in lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) gene are associated with Danon disease, which often leads to cardiomyopathy/heart failure through poorly defined mechanisms. Here, we identify the LAMP-2 isoform B (LAMP-2B) as required for autophagosome–lysosome fusion in human cardiomyocytes (CMs). Remarkably, LAMP-2B functions independently of syntaxin 17 (STX17), a protein that is essential for autophagosome–lysosome fusion in non-CMs. Instead, LAMP-2B interacts with autophagy related 14 (ATG14) and vesicle-associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP8) through its C-terminal coiled coil domain (CCD) to promote autophagic fusion. CMs derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs) from Danon patients exhibit decreased colocalization between ATG14 and VAMP8, profound defects in autophagic fusion, as well as mitochondrial and contractile abnormalities. This phenotype was recapitulated by LAMP-2B knockout in non-Danon hiPSC-CMs. Finally, gene correction of LAMP-2 mutation rescues the Danon phenotype. These findings reveal a STX17-independent autophagic fusion mechanism in human CMs, providing an explanation for cardiomyopathy in Danon patients and a foundation for targeting defective LAMP-2B–mediated autophagy to treat this patient population.

Danon disease, an X-linked dominant cardioskeletal myopathy, is caused by primary deficiency of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2 (LAMP-2). To clarify the clinicopathological features and management, we performed the first nationwide, questionnaire-based survey on Danon disease in Japan. A total of 39 patients (17 males, 22 females) from 20 families were identified in the analysis. All patients had cardiomyopathy. Of the 21 patients who died, 20 (95%) died of cardiac failure or sudden cardiac arrest. Most patients had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Wolf–Parkinson–White syndrome was present at a comparatively high incidence (54% in males, 22% in females). Only one female patient received a heart transplant, which is the most effective therapy. Histopathologically, all male patients showed autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features in muscle. Half of the probands showed de novo mutations. Male patients showed completely absent LAMP-2 expression in muscle. In contrast, female patients showed decreased LAMP-2 expression, which is suggested to reflect LAMP-2 haploinsufficiency due to a heterozygous null mutation. In conclusion, Danon disease is an extremely rare muscular disorder in Japan. Cardiomyopathy is the most significant prognostic factor and the main cause of death. Our findings suggest that the present survey can extend our understanding of the clinical features of this rare disease.
