• arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
  25 June 2003

  Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; ARVD
  Definition: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), a familial cardiomyopathy occurring with a prevalence of 1 in 5000, is characterized by replacement of myocytes with fatty and fibrous tissue.
  Clinical manifestations include structural and functional abnormalities of the right ventricle and arrhythmias, leading to a sudden death rate of 2.5% per year.

  microsatellite instability, MSI-H, DNA microsatellite instability, MSI, mismatch-repair deficiency; MMR diseases; DNA Mismatch Repair Protein Deficiency
  Definition: A cause for genetic instability is the frequent appearance of mismatches on the double helix of DNA. (DNA mismatch repair)
  Base-base mismatches
  Base-base mismatches and small loops may occur during most of the main mechanism that process DNA, that is, replication, recombination and repair itself. From bacteria to eukaryotes, (...)
