Arrhythmogenic right-ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), a cardiomyopathy inherited as an autosomal-dominant disease, is characterized by fibro-fatty infiltration of the right-ventricular myocardium. Four loci for ARVD have been mapped in the Italian population, and recently the first locus was mapped in inhabitants of North America. None of the genes have been identified. We have now identified another North American...
