The edge of SYNGAP1 – familial variants in a complex neurodevelopmental disorder | Beyond the Ion Channel
Bridge the gap. There are very few conditions that I have learned as much about in the last three years as SYNGAP1-related disorders. We just passed the critical milestone of 100 SYNGAPians followed…

🚨 Can SCN2A be a cause of brain malformations?

..in our paper by Clatot et al, we report SCN2A variants linked to cortical malformations & epilepsy
🧠⚡️🧬
Rare dysfunctional SCN2A variants are associated with malformation of cortical development - PubMed
These results support expansion of the clinical spectrum of SCN2A-related disorders and the association of genetic variation in SCN2A with MCD, which suggests previously undescribed roles for SCN2A…
