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).

A Nine-Year-Old Girl With Left Ventricle Non-Compaction and Skin Lesions (Carvajal Syndrome). [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), a cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty degeneration of the myocardium with progressive dysfunction, electrical instability, and sudden death, occurs in approximately 1 in 5000 people in the United States.We present a nine-year-old girl complaining of dyspnea, easy fatigability and skin lesions ...

Dsprul: A spontaneous mouse mutation in desmoplakin as a model of Carvajal-Huerta syndrome [PDF]
Studies of spontaneous mutations in mice have provided valuable disease models and important insights into the mechanisms of human disease. Ruffled (rul) is a new autosomal recessive mutation causing abnormal hair coat in mice. The rul allele arose spontaneously in the RB156Bnr/EiJ inbred mouse strain.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Characteristics in Carvajal Syndrome (Variant of Naxos Disease) [PDF]
Naxos disease is an autosomal recessively inherited familial syndrome that is characterized by woolly hair, palmoplantar keratoderma, and a cell adhesion cardiomyopathy, specifically an arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.1 This cardiocutaneous syndrome was first reported in the Hellenic island of Naxos.

Phenotypic diversity of frontotemporal lobar degeneration in two novel GRN variants from Colombia. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Pathogenic progranulin (GRN) variants are among the main genetic causes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). These variants have been predominantly reported in European cohorts, but their characterization in Latin America remains scarce.
