TL;DR

Data suggest that loss of Nf1 alters adult metabolism via effects during a critical period of nervous system development, and high-resolution respirometry on adult mitochondria revealed no differences in complex I/II function or fatty acid oxidation between nf1 mutants and controls.

Elucidating the role of DEAF1 in neurodevelopment and shared molecular pathways in high-risk autism genes using cortical organoids

This work shows that a DEAF1 mutation in human embryonic stem cells disrupts chromatin accessibility at neuronal gene loci, leading to significant transcriptional alterations, and identifies WNT signaling, TGFβ superfamily signaling, and cell cycle regulation as commonly dysregulated pathways across multiple ASD-associ...

Tmlhe deficiency induces neurodevelopmental dysfunction and synaptic excitatory/inhibitory imbalance linked to autism-like phenotypes in zebrafish.

It is demonstrated that tmlhe deficiency disrupts carnitine biosynthesis, impairing energy and glycerophospholipid metabolism, which is critical for early neurogenesis, which may lead to impaired neural development and a synaptic E/I imbalance, ultimately causing ASD-like phenotypes.

Identification of novel CDK19 variants and Drosophila-based in vivo functional evidence supporting pathogenicity in neurodevelopmental disorders.

PURPOSE CDK19 (HGNC:19338) is a Mediator-associated kinase that regulates transcription during neurodevelopment. Although CDK19 variants have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, the full phenotypic spectrum and underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely defined. We aimed to further characterize clini...

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

The data support a model that heterozygous loss of BRSK1 leads to a neurodevelopmental syndrome with variable phenotypes and indicates that the three individual-derived alleles provide only a partial rescue and fail to normalize NMJ morphology and Futsch levels, suggesting that they are partial loss-of-function alleles...

Loss of RUBCN causes autophagy overdrive in a neurodevelopmental disorder with age-dependent neurodegeneration

The RUBCN-related disorders are established and expand as a clinically and molecularly distinct subset of autophagy-related diseases and enhances understanding of autophagy-related neurodevelopmental disorders and provides a foundation for future therapeutic investigations.
