As suggested previously, deficiency of Rbm24 causes embryonic lethality limiting the functional analyses (Yang et al., 2014). To circumvent this limitation the authors generated cardiac specific Rbm24 deficient mice and showed that homozygous deletion of Rbm24 at postnatal stage leads to rapidly progressive DCM and heart failure (Liu et al., 2018).展开更多
