While the functional consequences of this novel yet rare C-terminal truncation transcript require further study, we focused on further elucidating the function of alternative splice variants of the variable domain exons 16 and 17 in full-length Drp1, as their predicted proteins molecular weights matched the predominant protein variants observed in patient ascites-derived EOCs and ovarian cancer cell lines (Fig. 1A,B). The gene discussed is DNM1L; the disease is ovarian cancer.
