|title=Age-dependent clinical and genetic characteristics in Japanese patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.

|abstract= Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a heart muscle disease caused by desmosomal gene mutations, and presents as ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death. Although the mean age at onset or diagnosis of ARVC/D are reported to be around the 30-40s, the age-dependent clinical and genetic differences remain unknown.  A total of 35 consecutive Japanese probands (23 male) who were clinically diagnosed with ARVC/D were enrolled in the present study, and genetic analysis of [[PKP2]], [[DSP]], [[DSG2]], and [[DSC2]] was done. The mean age at the first symptom and at diagnosis was 38.6±14.8 years and 40.5±17.7 years, respectively. Probands in whom the onset was cardiopulmonary arrest were significantly younger (22.3±15.3 years) than those with arrhythmia (41.1±13.2 years) or congestive heart failure (45.7±8.5 years). On genetic screening, 19 mutation carriers were identified. Although there was no age dependence for each gene mutation carrier, carriers with [[PKP2]] premature stop codon developed the disease at a significantly younger age than other mutation carriers.  The initial clinical manifestations in some young probands were very severe, and [[PKP2]] mutations with a premature stop codon would be associated with disease onset at a younger age.
