Monoallelic variants in BRSK1 are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder with or without epilepsy.

Brain-specific serine/threonine kinase (BRSK1; synapses of amphids defective [SAD]-B) encodes an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-related serine/threonine kinase required for neuronal polarization and synaptic function. An individual with a variant in BRSK1 was identified in the Texome Project, which provides genomi...

A rare recurring gain-of-function variant in BMPR2 causes neurodevelopmental phenotypes in humans and flies.

A rare recurrent missense variant in BMPR2 identified in six individuals, who all present with neurodevelopmental phenotypes including autism spectrum disorder and global developmental delay, is reported and shows that this variant causes neurodevelopmental defects in flies when expressed in neurons or glial cells.

Epilepsy-associated digenic variants affecting an actin/mitochondria/glutamate pathway promote seizure susceptibility

The AMG pathway is established as a mechanistic framework for identifying digenic etiologies in epilepsy and highlight potential therapeutic targets after it was demonstrated that reduced actin polymerization promoted DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission, increased ROS levels, and enhanced glutamatergic transmission, le...

Cross-species functional analysis of a de novo DCLK1 variant associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder

The findings implicate DCLK1 in a previously unrecognized progressive neurodevelopmental disorder and demonstrate the power of integrative cross-species functional genomics in resolving ultra-rare disease variants.
