Abstract excerpt
Single-minded 2 (SIM2) is a neuron-enriched basic Helix-Loop-Helix/PER-ARNT-SIM (bHLH/PAS) transcription factor essential for mammalian survival. SIM2 is located within the Down syndrome critical region (DSCR) of chromosome 21, and manipulation in mouse models suggests Sim2 may play a role in brain development and function. During the screening of a clinical exome sequencing database, nine SIM2 non-synonymous...
