As someone who has been recently diagnosed with this after genetic testing, I thank you very much for sharing this information. I was asymptomatic and discovered I have a DSP mutation because of genetic testing after SCD in the family (18year old) and my mother who has an ICD since 2008/2009 but they didn't know what caused her heartproblems untill now. This was and still is a total shock for me and others in my family who were also asymptomatic and diagnosed with this. Turns out my palpitations etc, that I've had for so long are a symptom of this too.. So again, thank you so much for sharing this!

Following this closely. I had several episodes of sustained VT a year ago. ICD implanted in March 2023. Ablation in April 2023. Then finally (a year later) diagnosed as having a mutated DSP gene. No prior knowledge of anything wrong before my VT episode. I was an airline pilot for 35 years with annual health checks including ECG. Fit and healthy… or so I thought……..
