Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To examine the relevance and cause of reduced plakoglobin IF in intercalated discs for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and ARVC-like disease in mouse and human. METHODS AND RESULTS: Normalized semi-quantitative IF measurements were performed in a standardized format in desmoglein 2-mutant mice with an ARVC-like phenotype (n = 6) and in cardiac biopsies from humans with ARVC and...
