Abstract excerpt
CTNNA3 encodes αT-catenin, an intercalated disc (ICD) protein essential for cardiomyocyte coupling. Human omics studies have shown reduced CTNNA3 expression, ICD ultrastructural disruption, and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)-associated hyperphosphorylation of αT-catenin. Direct RNA-level evidence linking biallelic CTNNA3 variants to human cardiomyopathy has been lacking. Clinical exome sequencing was performed in a...
