Key result
Familial right ventricular dysplasia was identified in 35% of RVD cases, and 42 of 72 family members of sudden death victims were diagnosed with RVD, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance.

Supports family screening after RVD sudden death; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Observational (n=340)
This study provides early evidence that right ventricular dysplasia is frequently familial, likely following an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with incomplete penetrance.
Buja et al. (1989) conducted an observational in Right ventricular dysplasia (n=340). Familial history of right ventricular dysplasia was evaluated on Diagnosis of right ventricular dysplasia. Familial right ventricular dysplasia was identified in 35% of RVD cases, and 42 of 72 family members of sudden death victims were diagnosed with RVD, suggesting autosomal dominant inheritance.
