Mutations in the Lamin A/C gene mimic arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart muscle disease predominantly caused by mutations in desmosomal protein genes. Lamin A/C gene (LMNA) mutations are associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, conduction abnormalities and high incidence of sudden cardiac death. In this study, we screened a large cohort of ARVC patients for LMNA mutations. METHODS AND RESULTS: One...
