Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is an inherited cardiomyopathy mainly caused by desmosomal gene mutation. More than half of Caucasian probands have desmosomal mutations, which lead to earlier onset of ventricular arrhythmias. Among non-Caucasians, the genetic background of ARVD/C probands and its prognostic impact remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: We genotyped 99...
