Patient mutations linked to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy enhance calpain-mediated desmoplakin degradation
13 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited disorder with variable genetic etiologies. Here we focused on understanding the precise molecular pathology of a single clinical variant in DSP, the gene encoding desmoplakin. We initially identified a novel missense desmoplakin variant (p.R451G) in a patient diagnosed with biventricular ACM. An extensive single-family ACM cohort was assembled, revealing a...
