Evidence for genetic heterogeneity in Carvajal syndrome
Carvajal syndrome is a rare syndrome with woolly hair, palmoplantar keratosis and dilated cardiomyopathy. The inheritance of the mutation is autosomal recessive. As a causal gene, the desmoplakin gene (DSP) has so far been identified; it encodes an essential component of desmosomes, a cell-cell structure aimed at keeping cells attached to each other in

Advanced Biventricular Heart Failure Precipitated by Large Territory Stroke in a Patient With Carvajal Syndrome [PDF]
Stroke-heart syndrome describes the neurocardiogenic mechanisms that lead to the development of poststroke cardiovascular complications. We describe a 25-year-old man with Carvajal syndrome who developed advanced biventricular heart failure 2 months after a large territory ischemic stroke.

Prevent Sudden Death in Carvajal Syndrome With Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation/Noncompaction. [PDF]
Dear Editor, With interest we read the article by Mohammadpour Ahranjani et al. about a nine-year-old girl with heart failure due to systolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) in whom the association with skin abnormalities led to the diagnosis of Caravajal syndrome (CS) (1).

A novel mutation in the desmoplakin gene in two female siblings with a rare form of dilated cardiomyopathy: Carvajal syndrome. [PDF]
Carvajal syndrome is a cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), woolly hair, and keratoderma (1). Here we present the case of two female siblings with Carvajal syndrome and a new homozygous frameshift mutation in desmoplakin (DSP).
