Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare cardiac disease predominantly caused by variants in desmosome genes. Variants in human Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) gene can cause ARVC with incomplete penetrance. However, it remains unknown whether ARVC would penetrate by distal myopathy. METHODS: We performed targeted next-generation sequencing using a cardiomyopathy/ionchannelopathy panel in...
