Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable cardiac disease predominantly caused by mutations in desmosomal protein genes.

This study was aimed to investigate the genotype in a large series of Chinese patients with ARVC through comprehensively screening nine...
