Cardiocutaneous syndrome is caused by aggregation of iASPP mutants [PDF]
The ASPP (apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53) family of proteins is involved in many cellular interactions and is starting to emerge as a major scaffolding hub for numerous proteins involved in cancer biology, inflammation and cellular integrity.

Genotype and cardiac outcome in patients with cardiocutaneous syndrome (Naxos disease variant: Carvajal syndrome) [PDF]
Background Naxos disease variant (Carvajal syndrome) is a cardiocutaneous genetic disease caused by Plakoglobin and Desmoplakin gene mutation, and usually manifests with woolly hair, palmoplantar keratoderma, and cardiomyopathy, and are found to have a ...

A Novel Heterozygous Desmoplakin Variant Causes Cardiocutaneous Syndrome with Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy and Palmoplantar Keratosis [PDF]
Cardiocutaneous syndrome (CCS) is often caused by genetic variants in desmoplakin (DSP) in the presence of thick calluses on the hands and soles of the feet (palmoplantar keratoderma) in combination with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In this case report, we describe a 58-year-old man presenting with a history of cardiomyopathy with recurrent sustained

Naxos disease: Cardiocutaneous syndrome due to cell adhesion defect [PDF]
Naxos disease is a recessively inherited condition with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) and a cutaneous phenotype, characterised by peculiar woolly hair and palmoplantar keratoderma.

An Extended Phenotype of PPP1R13L Cardiocutaneous Syndrome
ABSTRACT Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a rare disease in children and a leading cause of heart failure. There are numerous causes of DCM including genetic causes leading to isolated or syndromic presentations, with a wide variety of implicated genes.

RhoGEF Ect2 supports RhoA activity at cell–cell junctions through desmoplakin [PDF]
We describe a mechanism by which the desmosome component, desmoplakin, can recruit and control the activity of the contractile signaling regulator RhoA at cardiomyocyte and keratinocyte intercellular junctions, with implications for cardiocutaneous ...

Homozygous PPP1R13L Mutation Associated with Dilated Cardiomyopathy in a 1-Year-Old Child [PDF]
Introduction: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a relatively rare manifestation of pediatric heart failure. Despite recent diagnostic advancements and expanded screening modalities, the underlying cause of DCM remains elusive in over 50% of pediatric cases.

Left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy due to desmoplakin mutation: a case report. [PDF]
Abstract The case of a 49‐year‐old man with acute onset of heart failure is presented. The initial work‐up showed a dilated cardiomyopathy with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. In the differential diagnostic process, hypertensive, ischaemic, and valvular aetiologies were discarded. Subsequently, a cardiac magnetic resonance revealed

Functional investigation of two simultaneous or separately segregating DSP variants within a single family supports the theory of a dose-dependent disease severity. [PDF]
Abstract Desmoplakin (DP) is an important component of desmosomes, essential in cell–cell connecting structures in stress‐bearing tissues. Over the years, many hundreds of pathogenic variants in DSP have been associated with different cutaneous and cardiac phenotypes or a combination, known as a cardiocutaneous syndrome. Of less than 5% of the reported
