Scientists discover genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of new neurodevelopmental syndrome
Scientists discover genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of new neurodevelopmental syndrome Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and colleagues have demonstrated that variants in the SPTBN1 gene can alter neuronal architecture, dramatically affecting their function and leading to a rare, newly defined neurodevelopmental syndrome in children. Damaris Lorenzo, PhD, assistant professor in the UNC Department of Cell Biology and member of the UNC Neuroscience Center at the UNC School of Medicine, led this research, which was published today in the jour...
