Preferred Label : Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 13;
Symbol : ARVD13;
CISMeF acronym : ARVC13; ARVD13;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : ARVC13; Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy 13;
Description : Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia is characterized by progressive
fibrofatty myocardial replacement, primarily of the right ventricle. The main clinical
features are structural and functional abnormalities of the ventricles, electrocardiographic
depolarization/repolarization changes, reentrant arrhythmias, and sudden death (summary
by van Hengel et al., 2013).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the alpha-3 catenin gene (CTNNA3, 607667.0001);
