Mechanistic insights into arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy caused by desmocollin-2 mutations
9 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Recent immunohistochemical studies observed the loss of plakoglobin (PG) from the intercalated disc (ID) as a hallmark of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), suggesting a final common pathway for this disease. However, the underlying molecular processes are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: We have identified novel mutations in the desmosomal cadherin desmocollin 2 (DSC2 R203C,...
