Human genetics has substantially advanced our understanding of the Rho GTPase signaling network in brain development and established its dysregulation as an important mechanism underlying neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Through the spatiotemporal control of actin cytoskeleton dynamics, canonical and atypical Rho G...

Heterozygous carboxyl-terminal variants in the RHO guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) CDC42 are known to cause severe autoinflammatory syndromes. Here, we identified a heterozygous amino-terminal p.T43I (Thr43→Ile) CDC42 variant in patients with autoinflammation and uncovered a molecular link between CDC42 and the infla...

Results indicate that reduced PREX1-RAC1 signaling leads to mislocalization, dendritic overgrowth, and neuronal hyperexcitability, which may underlie epilepsy in the human case.
