Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To sequence the exonic and splice site regions of the 4 desmosomal genes associated with the human form of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in Boxers with ARVC and identify a causative mutation. ANIMALS: 10 unrelated Boxers with ARVC and 2 unaffected Labrador Retrievers (control dogs). PROCEDURES: Exonic and splice site regions of the 4 genes encoding the desmosomal...
