Microcephalin: A Causal Link Between Impaired Damage Response Signalling and Microcephaly
4 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Seckel Syndrome (SS) and Primary Microcephaly (MCPH) are disorders exhibiting marked microcephaly with a head circumference less than three standard deviations below the mean. ATR-Seckel Syndrome is conferred by mutations in ataxia and telangiectasia and Rad3 related (ATR), a kinase that activates a DNA damage signalling response.
