Their diagnosis is not always simple due to incomplete penetrance and genetic heterogeneity. Furthermore, the available treatments are usually invasive and merely preventive. Genome editing and especially CRISPR/Cas9 technologies have the potential to correct the genetic arrhythmogenic substrate, thereby offering a cure for these fatal diseases. To date, genome editing has allowed reproducing cardiac arrhythmias in vitro, providing a robust platform for variant pathogenicity, mechanistic, and drug-testing studies. However, in vivo approaches still need profound research regarding safety, specificity, and efficiency of the methods.engAMhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Gene EditingArrhythmias, CardiacHumansDeath, Sudden, CardiacTechnologyAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional36454463139611510.1007/978-981-19-5642-3_8Advances in experimental medicine and biologyrestricted access
