Deskripsi

Mutations in the splicing factor RBM20 cause aggressive Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Here the authors generated RBM20 R636S mutants and knockout in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. Mutant RBM20 showed different target RNA binding, altered splicing and localization to cytoplasmic processing bodies.
