This not only deepens our understanding of the role of ACTA2 gene in cardiovascular development, but also provides potential new targets for future research on the treatment of heart diseases. 4 Conclusions The mutations in the ACTA2 gene significantly affect cardiac development and function, and the zebrafish model used in this study further confirms the pathogenic role of these mutations in cardiac morphological abnormalities and dysfunction. 5 Access the Full Text Sebastian, W.A., Inoue, M., Shimizu, N. et al.
