Abstract excerpt
Rare loss of function variants in DSP, which codes for the desmosomal protein desmoplakin, have been implicated in dilated and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies. We present a family with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy associated with a novel missense variant in DSP (NM_004415.4): c.877G>A, p.(Glu293Lys). The phenotype is characterized by predominant involvement of the left ventricle with systolic...
