Abstract:S87 delay, intellectual disability, microcephaly, delayed brain myelination, and recurrent seizures, ultimately resulting in the death of most patients before the age of twenty. However, the function of UBA5 in the nervous system and how mutation of UBA5 results in disease was not known. To investigate the pathophysiology associated with UBA5 mutation and to identify pathways that could reduce disease progression we are using the zebrafish. We show that uba5 loss of function in zebrafish leads to significant d… Show more
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.
