Here, dynamin 2 splice switching from muscle-specific to ubiquitous dynamin 2 aggravated the phenotype of a severe X-linked form of centronuclear myopathy caused by loss-of-function of the MTM1 phosphatase, supporting the importance of targeting the ubiquitous isoform for efficient therapy in muscle. Here, DNM2 is linked to autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy.
