Abstract excerpt
The FERM domain containing protein 7 gene (FRMD7) associated with the X-linked disorder idiopathic congenital nystagmus (ICN) is involved in the regulation of neurite elongation during neuronal development. Members of the Rho family of small G-proteins (Rho GTPases) are key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and are implicated in the control of neuronal morphology. The Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor alpha,...
