Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microcephaly with early-onset seizures (MCSZ) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the DNA strand break repair protein, polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase (PNKP). METHODS: We have used whole genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to identify disease-causing variants, followed by a minigene assay, Western blotting, alkaline comet assay, γH2AX, and ADP-ribose...
