Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to determine the spectrum and prevalence of "background genetic noise" in the arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC) genetic test and to determine genetic associations that can guide the interpretation of a positive test result. BACKGROUND: ARVC is a potentially lethal genetic cardiovascular disorder characterized by myocyte loss and fibrofatty...
