Claims
Species: Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)Disorder: Lethality, RYR2-relatedSummary: Zheng et al. (2022) "used a constitutive knock-out of RyR2 in rabbits (RyR2-KO) to assess the extent to which a stable decrease in RyR2 expression modulates Ca2+ handling in the heart. We found that homozygous knock-out of RyR2 in rabbits is embryonic lethal. Remarkably, heterozygotes (KO+/-) show ~50% loss of RyR2 protein without developing an overt phenotype at the intact animal and whole heart levels." This study involves genetically modified organisms (GMO).
