Familial Recurrent Myocarditis Triggered by Exercise in Patients With a Truncating Variant of the Desmoplakin Gene [PDF]
Background Variants of the desmosomal protein desmoplakin are associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, an important cause of ventricular arrhythmias in children and young adults.

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

Cyclodextrin Counteracts Coxsackievirus-Induced Cardiac Damage by Protecting Desmosome Integrity and Suppressing Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression [PDF]
Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), an osmosensitive transcription factor, has been shown to protect against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis but is susceptible to cleavage by viral proteases.

A frameshift variation in the DSP gene causes a novel subtype of atypical epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma: Case report [PDF]
Palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) represents a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. Epidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma (EPPK) is typically caused by variations in KRT9 or KRT1 genes.

Humanized Dsp ACM Mouse Model Displays Stress-Induced Cardiac Electrical and Structural Phenotypes
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited disorder characterized by fibro-fatty infiltration with an increased propensity for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Genetic variants in desmosomal genes are associated with ACM.
