Modeling structural and functional deficiencies of<i>RBM20</i>familial dilated cardiomyopathy using human induced pluripotent stem cells
24 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure. In families with autosomal-dominant DCM, heterozygous missense mutations were identified in RNA-binding motif protein 20 (RBM20), a spliceosome protein induced during early cardiogenesis. Dermal fibroblasts from two unrelated patients harboring an RBM20 R636S missense mutation were reprogrammed to human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and...
