Test Overview:

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a familial cardiac disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. It is most frequently inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete and age-related penetrance and variable clinical expression.

Category:

Cardiovascular - Associated with the heart and blood vessels

Gene:

Striatin (STRN) on chromosome 17

Variant Detected:

Nucleotide deletion chr17:29269446-29272662 deletion CATACACA (canFam3) 3’Untranslated region of the STRN gene

Severity:

Moderate. This disease can cause significant signs of discomfort and/or dysfunction in affected animals. It may involve relatively high treatment/management costs, and can sometimes reduce life expectancy.

Mode of Inheritance:

Autosomal Dominant with Incomplete Penetrance

Research Citation(s):
