Ventricular fibrillation, paroxysmal familial, 2(VF2)

MedGen UID:
442823
Concept ID:
C2751829
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: VF2
 
Gene (location): DPP6 (7q36.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013063
OMIM®: 612956

Definition

Any ventricular fibrillation in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the DPP6 gene. [from MONDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Sudden cardiac death
MedGen UID:
38841
Concept ID:
C0085298
Pathologic Function
The heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating resulting in death within a short time period (generally within 1 h of symptom onset).
Ventricular fibrillation
MedGen UID:
21844
Concept ID:
C0042510
Disease or Syndrome
Uncontrolled contractions of muscles fibers in the left ventricle not producing contraction of the left ventricle. Ventricular fibrillation usually begins with a ventricular premature contraction and a short run of rapid ventricular tachycardia degenerating into uncoordinating ventricular fibrillations.
Premature ventricular contraction
MedGen UID:
56236
Concept ID:
C0151636
Disease or Syndrome
Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) or ventricular extrasystoles are premature contractions of the heart that arise in response to an impulse in the ventricles rather than the normal impulse from the sinoatrial (SA) node.
