To analyze if the trend observed for COL6a3 and coexpressed genes was due to GNE-specific mutations, we analyzed another high throughput NGS-based study reported by the Benyamini et al. This group checked knock-in mice carrying GneM743T/M743T, one of the most frequent mutations in GNE myopathy patients. Here, COL6A3 is linked to GNE myopathy.
