Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS) is defined as a congenital visceral myopathy with genetic mutations. However, the etiology and pathophysiology are not fully understood. We aimed to generate a gene leiomodin-1a (lmod1a) modification technique to establish a zebrafish model of MMIHS. METHODS: We targeted lmod1a in zebrafish using CRISPR/Cas9. After confirming the genotype,...
