Abstract excerpt
Variants in myosin-binding protein C3 (MYBPC3) gene are a main cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), accounting for 30% to 40% of the total number of HCM mutations. Gene editing represents a potential permanent cure for HCM. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genome editing of MYBPC3 using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in vivo could rescue the phenotype of rats with HCM. We generated a rat model of...
