Generation and Characterization of <i>Col6a1</i> knock-in mice: A Promising Pre-Clinical Model for Collagen VI-Related Dystrophies
2025-03-13
Abstract excerpt
Collagen VI Related Dystrophies (COL6-RD) are congenital muscle diseases, typically inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. A frequent type of mutation 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. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we generated transgenic mice...
