Abstract excerpt
Desmoplakin, encoded by DSP (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM]: 125647), is a central component of desmosomes. Mutations in DSP have been implicated in the development of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) and other cutaneous conditions. We report on a rare, myocarditis-like presentation of left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (LDACM) in a 16-year-old girl with a novel familial frame-shift DSP...
