An autoantibody identifies arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and participates in its pathogenesis

Abstract: Anti-DSG2 antibodies are a sensitive and specific biomarker for ARVC. The development of autoimmunity as a result of target-related mutations is unique. Anti-DSG2 antibodies likely explain the cardiac inflammation that is frequently identified in ARVC and may represent a new therapeutic target.

“…38 Finally, there is recent evidence of cardiac autoimmunity in a study of AC reporting anti-desmoglein antibodies associated with the extent of the disease. 40 Importantly, this was a consistent finding among desmosomal and non-desmosomal forms of the disease. 40…”

“…Other genetic causes of AC are less well studied, but data suggest that for mutations in TMEM43 , RBM20 , the founder R14del in phospholamban and FLNC , sudden death risk relates to the severity of structural and functional abnormalities, although anecdotal reports and familial evaluation suggest that sudden death can be the initial presenting feature . Several novel disease biomarkers that might aid risk prediction are under study, such as testosterone, BIN‐1, soluble ST2 and anti‐desmoglein‐2 autoantibodies . However, these have not been compared with conventional risk factors.…”
