Editing Myosin VB Gene to Create Porcine Model of Microvillus Inclusion Disease, With Microvillus-lined Inclusions and Alterations in Sodium Transporters

Microvillus inclusion disease (MVID) is caused by inactivating mutations in the myosin VB gene (MYO5B). MVID is a complex disorder characterized by chronic, watery, life-threatening diarrhea that usually begins in the first hours to days of life. We developed a large animal model of MVID to better understand its pathophysiology.
