Clinical genetic testing for plakophilin-2 (PKP2), one of the genes associated with ARVD/C, is now available through the DNA Diagnostic Laboratory at Johns Hopkins. Visit http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/dnadiagnostic/ for information on how your physician can order this test. We strongly recommend that you meet with a genetic counselor beforehand to discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of genetic testing.
