CRISPR activation to repair electrocardiogram abnormalities caused by a FLNC truncating variant in mice

Abstract excerpt

Truncating variants in the Filamin C gene (FLNCtv) are a frequent cause of genetic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC), both characterized by arrhythmic complications and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. Currently, no gene-specific therapies exist for FLNCtv-induced cardiomyopathy. CRISPR activation (CRISPRa), which upregulates gene expression via...
