Desmoplakin and clinical manifestations of desmoplakin cardiomyopathy
. Desmoplakin (DSP), encoded by the DSP gene, is the main desmosome component and is abundant in the myocardial tissue. There are three DSP isoforms that assume the role of supporting structural stability through intercellular adhesion. It has been found

Structure of the Intermediate Filament-Binding Region of Desmoplakin. [PDF]
Desmoplakin (DP) is a cytoskeletal linker protein that connects the desmosomal cadherin/plakoglobin/plakophilin complex to intermediate filaments (IFs).

Sinus arrest in a p.Arg160X-DSP-positive patient without evidence of desmoplakin-mediated cardiomyopathy: a case report [PDF]
BackgroundPathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants in DSP-encoded desmoplakin are strongly associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). However, their contribution towards sinus node dysfunction has not been well-delineated.Case summaryA 74-year-old

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy—Further Insight into the Clinical Spectrum of Desmoplakin Disease [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a familial heart muscle disease characterized by structural, electrical, and pathological abnormalities. Recognition of left ventricular (LV) involvement in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) has led ...

Electrophysiological abnormalities precede overt structural changes in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy due to mutations in desmoplakin-A combined murine and human study [PDF]
Anecdotal observations suggest that sub-clinical electrophysiological manifestations of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) develop before detectable structural changes ensue on cardiac imaging. To test this hypothesis, we investigated

Desmoplakin CSM models unravel mechanisms regulating the binding to intermediate filaments and putative therapeutics for cardiocutaneous diseases [PDF]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a common cause of sudden cardiac arrest and death in young adults. It can be induced by different types of mutations throughout the desmoplakin gene including the R2834H mutation in the extreme carboxyterminus tail ...

The Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of the 12-Lead ECG in Arrhythmogenic Left Ventricular Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Electrocardiographic findings in arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy (ALVC) have been limited to small studies. Objectives: The authors aimed to analyze the electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics of ALVC, to correlate ECG with ...

Naxos Disease and Related Cardio-Cutaneous Syndromes [PDF]
Naxos disease is a rare autosomal recessive condition combining arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, woolly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma. The first identified causative variant was in the gene encoding the desmosomal protein plakoglobin.
