Severe perinatal hydrops fetalis in genome edited pigs with a biallelic five base pair deletion of the Marfan syndrome gene, <i>FBN1</i>
2020-07-21
Abstract excerpt
This paper describes a genome editing project using CRISPR-Cas9. The objective was to create a large animal model of human Marfan syndrome by targeting the FBN1 gene of the pig, Sus scrofa , using a single guide and non-homologous end joining which was expected to create short insertion or deletion mutations at the 5’ end of the gene. The editing successfully created a five base pair deletion in exon 2 of FBN1...
