Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the DES gene, which encodes the intermediate filament desmin, lead to desminopathy, a rare disease characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and different forms of cardiomyopathies associated with cardiac conduction defects and arrhythmias. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) from a patient carrying the DES p.R406W mutation, and employed CRISPR/Cas9 to rectify the mutation in...
