Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiomyopathies frequently arise from rare, highly penetrant coding variants with variable clinical expressivity. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest significant polygenic contributions to cardiovascular diseases, including cardiomyopathy. Most GWAS loci map to poorly conserved noncoding regions, requiring human genome context for experimental validation. METHODS: We created engineered...
