Nieuwe blog van Cora Aalfs in
Medisch contact:

Sofie (33) heeft Noonan syndroom. De medische feiten kende ze al vroeg, maar pas jaren later ontdekte ze hoe belangrijk het is om óók over emoties en vermoeidheid te praten.
‘Dokters spraken niet over emoties en vermoeidheid’
‘Na mijn geboorte werd al snel duidelijk dat er iets niet goed was. Ik had een cardiomyopathie, wilde niet eten en na enkele maanden bleek ik doof te zijn. Het eerste jaar kreeg ik regelmatig sondevoe...

A new global study reveals lifestyle changes could delay or prevent the onset of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by decades. The study led by the Institute's Prof Diane Fatkin also revealed people with a mutation in the TTN gene face a 21 fold increased risk of developing DCM: www.victorchang.edu....

It's finally here! The #DSP exercise data you've all been waiting on! TLDR: different appearance than in PKP2 #ACM, but intense exercise not good in DSP ACM either. #cardiogen www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S154...
Endurance Exercise Promotes Episodes of Myocardial Injury in Individuals with a Pathogenic Desmoplakin (DSP) Variant
Desmoplakin (DSP) variants are associated with left-predominant or biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Exercise promotes penetrance and sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in right-sided arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, but its effect is unknown in DSP variant carriers.

Awesome talk by Dr Cindy James on the many findings from the 800+ DSP-erados network 👏🏻 DSP cardiomyopathy certainly a good example of why knowing genotype is so important

Hey GCs, are you using an employer-provided healthcare-specific AI tool at work? I'm reaching out on behalf of a group of GCs who are planning a submission for the NSGC AC on this topic. You don't have to be far in your adoption or a pro! Please DM me or reply in this thread #GeneChat

Interesting case study of a homozygous PLN variant (p.L39*) in a patient with severe DCM requiring HTx (het parents had LV hypertrophy). onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Just the third such case reported (AFAIK) - PLN has very complex geno-pheno associations... #cardiogen #cardiosky 🧬
