Autosomal Recessive Nonsyndromic Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy without Cutaneous Involvements: A Novel Mutation.
Annals of Human Genetics 2017 July
The arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a genetic disease frequently associated with desmosomal mutations, mainly attributed to dominant mutations in the Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) gene. Naxos and Carvajal are the syndromic forms of ARVD/C due to recessive mutations. Herein, we report an autosomal recessive form of nonsyndromic ARVD/C caused by a mutation in the PKP2 gene. After examination and implementation of diagnostic modalities, the definite diagnosis of ARVD/C was confirmed by detection of ventricular tachycardia with a left bundle branch configuration and a superior axis, T-wave inversion in right precordial leads (i.e., V1-V3) in a 12-lead electrocardiogram, and a right ventricle outflow tract dilatation. Neither cutaneous involvement nor other abnormalities were observed. Genetic testing was performed during which an intronic mutation of c.2577+1G>T in the PKP2 gene was observed homozygously. The c.2577+1G>T disrupts PKP2 mRNA splicing and causes a nonsyndromic form of ARVD/C.
