Abstract
Desmin (DES) maintains the overall structure of cardiomyocytes and cytoskeletal organization within striated muscle cells. Mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase 2 (TXNRD-2) is essential for mitochondrial oxygen radical scavenging. We describe a rare case of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in an 18-year-old female with a heterozygous mutation involving both DES and TXNRD-2 genes.
