EXPLORING THE 12 LEAD ECG CHARACTERISTIC OF PAEDIATRIC AND YOUNG ADULT CARRIERS OF DESMOPLAKIN GENE VARIANTS
Anno:
2024
Background and aim: The DSP gene (locus. 6p24.3) encodes desmoplakin, a quintessential desmosomal protein for cellular adhesion, particularly within cardiac tissues. DSP gene variants can cause dilated cardiomyopathy, non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) and arrhythmogenic righ ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), cardiac conditions known to trigger malignant ventricular arrhythmias and cause…
