Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RYR2) gene have been reported to cause arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The molecular mechanisms by which genetic modifications lead to ARVC are still not well understood. METHODS: ARVC patients were screened for mutations in the RYR2 gene by denaturing HPLC and DNA sequencing. Single channel measurements were carried out with RyR2...
