Gene: TMEM43

Alternate names for this Gene: ARVC5|ARVD5|EDMD7|LUMA

Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the TMEM43 family. Defects in this gene are the cause of familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia type 5 (ARVD5), also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5). Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is an inherited disorder, often involving both ventricles, and is characterized by ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death, and fibrofatty replacement of cardiomyocytes. This gene contains a response element for PPAR gamma (an adipogenic transcription factor), which may explain the fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, a characteristic pathological finding in ARVC.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p25.1

Description of this Gene: transmembrane protein 43

Type of Gene: protein-coding
