Winter 2011 ARVD/C Newsletter
... About 50% of patients who have ARVD will have an important change in one or more of these genes. Therefore, current genetic testing for ARVD is not definitive. Since we do not yet know all of the genes associated with ARVD, an individual who carries the diagnosis of ARVD may still test negative. A n ...
