— 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.

— Lysosomal storage disorders result in severe, multi-system dysfunction and frequently, early death. Currently, a number of lysosomal storage disorders are treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), which requires periodic infusions of the deficient enzyme. However, in a number of instances the…
