Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most mutations in the COL6A3 gene lead to collagen VI-related myopathies. This is due to a reduced expression or mislocalization of the COL6A3 protein. Therefore, studying the consequence of knocking out the Col6a3 gene in mouse models is relevant, but the Col6a3 mouse models reported so far do not entirely abolish COL6A3 protein expression. METHODS: Here, we present the development, validation and...
