Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Recent developments in the elucidation of genes underlying arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and possible pathogenic mechanisms will be highlighted. RECENT FINDINGS: The cardiac desmosome is a multiprotein structure involved in cell-cell interactions. Mutations in genes encoding desmosomal proteins such as PKP2, DSP, JUP, DSC2 and DSG2 underlie arrhythmogenic right ventricular...
