Interestingly, CNVs within genes strongly known as associated with DCM were also detected, including a 3 kb del/ins of LMNA, a deletion of Plakophilin 2 (PKP2; OMIM *602861) exon 8 and a deletion of Desmoplakin (DSP; OMIM *125647) exon 1 [24]. This evidence concerns the gene DSP and familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
