Among the differentially spliced genes in the spinal cord of myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients reported by Nakamori et al., 35 homologous genes also exhibited splicing abnormalities in the spinal cord of HSALR mice, including Mapt, Camkk2, Cacna1 g and Sorbs1. Here, MAPT is linked to myotonic dystrophy type 1.
