Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by a
progressive fibro-fatty replacement of the working myocardium and by life-threatening
arrhythmias and risk of sudden cardiac death. Pathogenic variants are identified in nearly
50% of affected patients mostly in genes encoding for desmosomal proteins. AC incomplete
penetrance and phenotypic variability advocate that other factors than genetics may

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by a progressive fibro-fatty replacement of the working myocardium and by life-threatening arrhythmias and risk of sudden cardiac death. Pathogenic variants are identified in nearly 50% of affected patients mostly in genes encoding for desmosomal proteins. AC incomplete penetrance and phenotypic variability advocate that other factors than genetics may modulate the disease, such as microRNAs (miRNAs). MiRNAs are small noncoding RNAs with a primary role in gene expression regulation and network of cellular processes. The implication of miRNAs in AC pathogenesis and their role as biomarkers for early disease detection or differential diagnosis has been the objective of multiple studies employing diverse designs and methodologies to detect miRNAs and measure their expression levels. Here we summarize experiments, evidence, and flaws of the different studies and hitherto knowledge of the implication of miRNAs in AC pathogenesis and diagnosis.
