Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in desmoglein-2 (DSG2) are a major cause of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a disease plagued by ventricular arrhythmias, contractile dysfunction, myocardial inflammation, and fibrofatty remodeling. In addition, increasing evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction in DSG2-associated disease. However, whether mitochondrial remodeling occurs uniformly across ventricles remains less well...
