Right Atrial Myxoma in a Young Patient with a DSG-2 Genetic Mutation: A Case Report
This is the first documented case of a right atrial myxoma concomitantly existing with a DSG-2 variant. While the presence of this gene cannot be directly linked to the presence of a myxoma, the possibility of a genetic association is relevant. Further research and broader genetic screening in such cases can possibly uncover a potential link and aid in the further understanding of atypical cardiac tumour biology.
