Dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction defects in a patient with partial merosin deficiency due to mutations in the laminin‐α2‐chain gene: A chance association or a novel phenotype?
Copyright policy )Dilated cardiomyopathy with conduction defects in a patient with partial merosin deficiency due to mutations in the laminin‐α2‐chain gene: A chance association or a novel phenotype?
AbstractPatients with a partial reduction of merosin due to mutations in the laminin‐α2 chain gene usually present with a mild form of congenital muscular dystrophy or a limb‐girdle–like muscular dystrophy. To our knowledge, cardiac impairment has never been reported in such patients. A longitudinal study of a patient with partial laminin‐α2 deficiency secondary to mutations in the LAMA2 gene revealed dilated cardiomyopathy with ventricular arrhythmias. Is this a chance association or a novel phenotype? Muscle Nerve, 2011
