Prevalence and potential genetic determinants of young sudden unexplained death victims with suspected arrhythmogenic mitral valve prolapse syndrome

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is largely considered a benign condition. However, MVP is over-represented consistently in sudden unexplained death in the young (SUDY) cohorts.To determine the prevalence and potential genetic underpinnings of suspected arrhythmogenic MVP in a referral cohort of SUDY cases.In this retrospective study, medical records/autopsy reports and whole exome molecular autopsy (WEMA) results for 77 SUDY victims (27 female;...
