These data place SLC9A6 among the top six genes with recurrent protein - truncating mutations, and suggest that CS may constitute approximately 1 % to 2 % of
X-linked developmental brain disorders.
He also studies how dysregulated translational control contributes to altered synaptic function and aberrant behaviors
in developmental brain disorders and neurodegenerative disease.
Saturday, Oct. 22, 11:15 - 11:30 am, Room 302, West Building Platform Presentation: Identification of recurrent copy number variants associated with
developmental brain disorders from whole exome sequencing of 47,859 participants in the DiscovEHR study A.E. Hare - Harris, Geisinger Health System, et al
Fulfilling the promise of molecular medicine in a developmental brain disorder
Christianson syndrome (CS) is a novel, X-linked
developmental brain disorder, clinically recognized by the symptoms of global developmental delay, intellectual disability, ataxia, epilepsy, non - or minimally verbal status, ophthalmoplegia and most often postnatal microcephaly [1].
