Table 1.

Genetic background of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy including the probability of LV involvement. Modified from refs. [7] and [8] with permission.

Gene Protein Estimated % of cases Inheritance Expected LV involvement
CDH2 N-Cadherin-2 <2% AD
CTNNA3 AlphaT-catenin <2% AD
DES Desmin <2% AD Frequent and often isolated
DSC2 Desmocollin-2 1%–8% AD If present, associated to RV involvement
DSG2 Desmoglein-2 3%–20% AD/AR Isolated or associated to RV involvement
DSP Desmoplakin 3%–15% AD/AR Frequent either isolated or associated to RV involvement
FLNC Filamin C <2% AD Frequent and usually isolated (also a dilated biventricular cardiomyopathy phenotype can be present)
JUP Plakoglobin <1% AD/AR If present, associated to RV involvement
LMNA Lamin A/C <4% AD If present, associated to RV involvement
PKP2 Plakophilin-2 20%–46% AD/AR If present, associated to RV involvement
PLN Phospholamban <1% AD Frequent and often isolated
SCN5A Sodium channel 2% AD If present, associated to RV involvement
TGFβ3 Transforming growth factor β3 <2% AD
TMEM43 Transmembrane protein 43 <2% AD If present, associated to RV involvement
TTN Titin <10% AD

AD: autosomal dominant; AR: autosomal recessive; LV: left ventricular; RV: right ventricular.
