Next, we asked whether an increase in Fhl2 positive myofibers of EOMs could be found across muscular dystrophies and therefore immunolabeled plecb−/− (plectin) and obscnb−/− (obscurin) mutant zebrafish EOMs (Fig. 2f), both resulting in muscular dystrophy when mutated in other models37,38. This evidence concerns the gene FHL2 and muscular dystrophy.
