Molecular changes in the heart of a severe case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy caused by a desmoglein-2 null allele.
INTRODUCTION: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in desmosomal genes. It is often associated with life-threatening arrhythmias. Some affected individuals develop progressive heart failure and may require cardiac transplantation. METHODS:...
