The CAMK2B gene encodes the β-subunit of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMK2), an enzyme that has crucial roles in synaptic plasticity, especially in hippocampal and cerebellar neurons. Heterozygous variants in CAMK2B cause a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, with 40% of the reported cases sharing the same variant: c.416C>T, p.(P139L). This case report describes a 22-year-old patient with this...
