Abstract excerpt
Collagen VI related dystrophies (COL6-RD) are congenital muscle diseases, typically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. A frequent type of pathogenic variant involves glycine substitutions in the triple helical domain of collagen VI alpha chains, exerting a dominant-negative effect on the unaltered protein. Despite this, no prior animal model captured this mutation type. By using CRISPR/Cas9, we generated...
