— This is a CRISPR/Cas9 germline mutation in the KCNJ8 gene, equivalent to a human Cantu Syndrome mutation. The mouse is therefore a genetic model of human Cantu Syndrome. This mouse model can be used for pre-clinical testing of targeted therapy for Cantu Syndrome.

— This mouse model was generated by using CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate the ABCC9 gene. The mouse model described here could be used as a pre-clinical model for testing Cantu Syndrome therapies.
