RBM20 mutation and ventricular arrhythmias in a young patient with dilated cardiomyopathy: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Gene mutations in RBM20 have been identified in a minority of familial and sporadic dilated cardiomyopathy cases. Recent studies of carriers of RBM20 mutations not only highlight the aforementioned association with dilated cardiomyopathy but also indicate a link with increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmias. Herein we describe a case of 17-year-old female patient with dilated cardiomyopathy carrying a p.(Arg634Trp) RBM20 mutation and presenting with frequent premature ventricular contractions and episodes of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.
