Abstract excerpt
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a fatal genetic heart disease characterized by cardiac arrhythmias, in which fibrofatty deposition leads to heart failure, with no effective treatments. Plakophilin 2 (PKP2) is the most frequently mutated gene in ARVC, and although altered RNA splicing has been implicated, there are no models to study its effect and therapeutics. Here, we generate a mouse...
