Finally, we validated our finding in BLAJ mice (mice carrying the A/J dysferlin mutation that were backcrossed onto the C57BL/6 background), another commonly used mouse model for dysferlinopathies (Grounds et al, 2014; Haynes et al, 2019; Hogarth et al, 2019; Lloyd et al, 2022). The gene discussed is DYSF; the disease is neuromuscular disease caused by qualitative or quantitative defects of dysferlin.
