N2 - The phospholamban (PLN) pathogenic gene variant, p.Arg14del (PLN-R14del), can lead to dilated and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, resulting in heart failure. PLN-R14del cardiomyopathy has been conceptualized as a disease caused by sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase 2a (SERCA2a) superinhibition. However, recent studies raised controversy regarding the effect of PLN-R14del on SERCA activity and revealed a prominent role for abnormal PLN protein distribution and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum disorganization as underlying disease mechanism. Strategies targeting sarco/endoplasmic reticulum malformation may, therefore, prove more effective than SERCA activity modulation. This review reassesses the disease mechanisms of PLN-R14del cardiomyopathy and emphasizes the importance of dissecting the underlying molecular mechanisms to uncover targets for innovative treatments.
