Cardiac Transcriptome and Dilated Cardiomyopathy Genes in Zebrafish
13 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic studies of cardiomyopathy and heart failure have limited throughput in mammalian models. Adult zebrafish have been recently pursued as a vertebrate model with higher throughput, but genetic conservation must be tested. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted transcriptome analysis of zebrafish heart and searched for fish homologues of 51 known human dilated cardiomyopathy-associated genes. We also...
