Genotype-phenotype correlation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy--risk of arrhythmias and heart failure

Conclusion In this large cohort of ARVC families with long-term follow-up, we found PKP2 genotype to be more arrhythmic than DSC2/DSG2/DSP or gene-negative carrier status, whereas reduced LVEF was mostly seen among DSC2/DSG2/DSP carriers. Male sex was associated with a more severe phenotype.
