In the current issue of the Circulation Research, Karmouch et al1 present a provocative study attributing a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) to the loss of DSP (desmoplakin) gene in a subpopulation of the cells of the conduction system. This hypothesis is in sharp departure from the current view on the disease, and it opens the question on whether the data reported in mice with a selective expression of the genetic defects in the specialized cells of the conduction system replicate the clinical phenotype found in patients.

Abstract: | In the current issue of the Circulation Research, Karmouch et al1 present a provocative study attributing a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) to the loss of DSP (desmoplakin) gene in a subpopulation of the cells of the conduction system. This hypothesis is in sharp departure from the current view on the disease, and it opens the question on whether the data reported in mice with a selective expression of the genetic defects in the specialized cells of the conduction system replicate the clinical phenotype found in patients. | |
