Left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (LDAC) exhibits characteristic phenotypic and genetic features which were found in the five Spanish family members described in this study. Triggered by a cold, a young man presented with a ventricular tachycardia of left ventricular origin and left ventricular late gadolinium enhancement. His resting ECG showed low potentials, delayed ventricular depolarization (inferior and V4-V6 leads) and atrioventricular conduction disturbances. His endomyocardial biopsy revealed myocyte loss with interstitial fibrosis. Despite the initial diagnosis of myocarditis, familial screening was pivotal in confirming the diagnosis of LDAC. A novel nonsense mutation in the desmoplakin gene (Q1866X) and the truncated protein which it produces were observed in skin samples.

D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
