Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Mutation in human FAM134B gene has been implicated in hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IIB. We aimed to knock out Fam134b in mice and explored its phenotypes to determine whether the genetic impairments and behavioral changes can mirror manifestations noted in humans. METHODS: We used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to knockout the Fam134b gene in the C57BL/6 J mouse. After confirming the...
