Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We aimed to unravel the genetic, molecular and cellular pathomechanisms of DSC2 truncation variants leading to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). METHODS AND RESULTS: We report a homozygous 4-bp DSC2 deletion variant c.1913_1916delAGAA, p.Q638LfsX647hom causing a frameshift carried by an ACM patient. Whole exome sequencing and comparative genomic hybridization analysis support a loss of heterozygosity in...
