Dosage-sensitive RBFOX2 autoregulation promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation by maturing the transcriptome

Mengmeng Huang, Feria A. Ladha, Yunxia Wang…·Caroline Erter Burns

This study shows that RBFOX2 autoregulation is critical for cardiomyocyte differentiation by maturing the transcriptome, and its disruption leads to congenital heart disease.
