The Role of MAPRE2 and Microtubules in Maintaining Normal Ventricular Conduction
14 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brugada syndrome is associated with loss-of-function SCN5A variants, yet these account for only ≈20% of cases. A recent genome-wide association study identified a novel locus within MAPRE2 , which encodes EB2 (microtubule end-binding protein 2), implicating microtubule involvement in Brugada syndrome. METHODS: A mapre2 knockout zebrafish model was generated using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly...
