A mutation in the Z‐line Cypher/ZASP protein is associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Abstract excerpt

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an important cause of malignant arrhythmia and sudden death particularly in young people. Although it is considered a desmosomal disease, mutations in non-desmosomal genes have also been identified. We report on a family where a mutation in LDB3 is associated with this condition. The index case and first and second degree relatives underwent a complete...
