Desmoglein-2 and desmocollin-2 mutations in dutch arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomypathy patients: results from a multicenter study.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and type of mutations in the major desmosomal genes, Plakophilin-2 (PKP2), Desmoglein-2 (DSG2), and Desmocollin-2 (DSC2), in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) patients. We also aimed to distinguish relevant clinical and ECG parameters. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical evaluation was performed according to the ...

متن کاملDesmosomal Cadherins Are Decreased in Explanted Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy Patient Hearts
AIMS Arrhythmogenic right ventricular Dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is an autosomal dominant inherited cardiomyopathy associated with ventricular arrhythmia, heart failure and sudden death. Genetic studies have demonstrated the central role of desmosomal proteins in this disease, where 50% of patients harbor a mutation in a desmosmal gene. However, clinical diagnosis of the disease remains ...
متن کاملHealthy and Unhealthy Cardiac Progenitor Cells Modify the Pathogenesis of Myocardial Diseases
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a life-threatening inherited cardiomyopathy with an estimated prevalence of 1 per 5000 individuals characterized by the replacement of the cardiac myocytes with fibrofatty tissue leading to ventricular arrhythmias, right ventricular failure, and sudden cardiac death. ARVD/C is commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant manne...
متن کاملA novel desmocollin-2 mutation reveals insights into the molecular link between desmosomes and gap junctions
BACKGROUND Cellular adhesion mediated by cardiac desmosomes is a prerequisite for proper electric propagation mediated by gap junctions in the myocardium. However, the molecular principles underlying this interdependence are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine potential causes of right ventricular conduction abnormalities in a patient with borderline dia...
