PRKAG2 mutations cause glycogen-storage cardiomyopathy, ventricular preexcitation, and conduction system degeneration. A genetic approach that utilizes a binary inducible transgenic system was used to investigate the disease mechanism and to assess preventability and reversibility of disease features in a mouse model of glycogen-storage cardiomyopathy.
