Impact of PNKP mutations associated with microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay on enzyme activity and DNA strand break repair

TL;DR: All four known MCSZ mutations reduce the cellular stability and level of PNKP protein, with three mutations likely ablating cellular DNA 5′-kinase activity and all of the mutations greatly reducing cellular DNA 3′-phosphatase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

RPGRIP1L mutations are mainly associated with the cerebello-renal phenotype of Joubert syndrome-related disorders.

Francesco Brancati, +131 more

TL;DR: No pathogenic changes were found in patients with other JSRD phenotypes, suggesting that RPGRIP1L mutations are largely confined to the cerebello‐renal subgroup, while they overall represent a rare cause of JSRDs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Periventricular nodular heterotopia in patients with filamin-1 gene mutations: neuroimaging findings.

TL;DR: Patients with confirmed FLN-1 gene mutations are usually female and have a distinctive MR pattern of PNH, which means other female patients with this same MR pattern probably harbor FLn-1 mutations and risk transmission to their progeny.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion Channel Functions in Early Brain Development.

TL;DR: It is suggested that precise control of ionic flux (calcium, sodium, and potassium) contributes to in utero developmental processes such as neural proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
