CES effectively identified disease-causing alleles at the mild end of the cohensinopathy spectrum and enabled characterization of candidate disease genes.
Galloway-Mowat syndrome (GMS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by microcephaly, cerebellar hypoplasia, nephrosis, and profound intellectual disability. Jinks et al. extend the GMS spectrum by identifying a novel nephrocerebellar syndrome with selective striatal cholinergic interneuron loss and complete lateral geniculate nucleus delamination, caused by a frameshift mutation in WDR73.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
