Zebrafish model for cardiac arrhythmia
This fish line has been produced by gene editing and exhibits reduced cAMP binding associated with severe consequences. The fish mutant displays cardiac arrhythmia, muscular dystrophy and myofiber rupture and models a mutation found in patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and AV-block.
Complement Factor H Knock Out Mouse Model
In the field of eye disease, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) this mouse model has been proven important for research into the mechanisms of disease. This disease model is useful for conditions in which complement factor H plays a role.
