Abstract excerpt
TBCK-related encephalopathy is a rare pediatric neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic loss-of-function variants in the TBCK gene. After receiving anecdotal reports of neurologic phenotypes in both human and mouse TBCK heterozygotes, we quantified if TBCK haploinsufficiency causes a phenotype in mice and humans. Using the tbck+/- mouse model, we performed a battery of behavioral assays and mTOR pathway...
