Abstract excerpt
Cytoplasmic β-actin supports fundamental cellular processes in healthy and diseased cells including cell adhesion, migration, cytokinesis and maintenance of cell polarity. Mutations in ACTB, the gene encoding cytoplasmic β-actin, lead to severe disorders with a broad range of symptoms. The two dominant heterozygous gain-of-function β-actin mutations p.R183W and p.E364K were identified in patients with...
