Does desmosomal gene analysis provide diagnostic and prognostic information in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy?
Genetic testing in ARVC/D is useful for diagnosis and provides prognostic information based on the specific gene involved or the presence of multiple mutations.
This study supports the use of genetic testing as a new diagnostic tool in ARVC/D and also suggests a prognostic impact, as the severity of the disease appears different according to the underlying gene or the presence of multiple mutations.
