Abstract

Objective: Naxos disease is an autosomal recessive, inherited, cardiocutaneous disorder, characterized by arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, woolly hair, and palmoplantar keratoderma. Carvajal syndrome is characterized by palmoplantar keratoderma, curly hair, dilated cardiomyopathy, especially on the left ventricle side, and early morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cutaneous and cardiac findings and genotype-phenotype relationship of six patients diagnosed with Naxos/Carvajal syndrome.
