This analysis identified a set of genes including Gap junction alpha-1 (GJA1), Desmin (DES), Desmoplakin (DSP), and SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 2 (SMOC2) that were higher expressed in OVAT as compared to SAT and enriched in pathways related to right ventricular cardiomyopathies and heart function (Saeed et al. 2025). The gene discussed is DES; the disease is Right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
