Table 2.
Fibrosis biomarkers concentrations in all PLN variant carriers (n = 72) or divided into ACM diagnosed (n = 12), DCM diagnosed (n = 14) or preclinical pathogenic variant carriers (n = 46).
| All PLN | ACM diagnosed | DCM diagnosed | Preclinical variant carrier | Adjusted | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (n = 72) | (n = 12) | (n = 14) | (n = 46) | p-value | |
| PICP (ng/mL) | 120.18 [98.32–146.98] | 112.55 [95.19–135.32] | 133.44 [104.91–156.28] | 120.18 [98.62–144.72] | >0.999 |
| ICTP (ng/mL) | 3.14 [2.42–3.81] | 3.34 [2.68–4.76] | 3.36 [2.38–3.87] | 3.07 [2.43–3.54] | >0.999 |
| PICP/ICTP | 42.40 [29.70–51.63] | 37.74 [23.54–45.37] | 43.70 [27.90–51.88] | 42.57 [31.53–54.12] | >0.999 |
Data is shown as median [interquartile range]. PLN, phospholamban; ACM, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; PICP, procollagen type I carboxy-terminal pro-peptide; ICTP, C-terminal telopeptide collagen type I. Kruskal wallis test is performed. Bonferroni correction is applied to correct p-value.
