In Vivo Ryr 2 Editing Corrects Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
28 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Rationale: Autosomal-dominant mutations in ryanodine receptor type 2 ( RYR2 ) are responsible for ≈60% of all catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Dysfunctional RyR2 subunits trigger inappropriate calcium leak from the tetrameric channel resulting in potentially lethal ventricular tachycardia. In vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing is a promising strategy that could be used to eliminate the...
