Abstract excerpt
Focal malformations of cortical development (FMCDs) are brain disorders mainly caused by hyperactive mTOR signaling due to both inactivating and activating mutations of genes in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. Among them, mosaic and somatic activating mutations of the mTOR pathway activators are more frequently linked to severe form of FMCDs. A human stem cell-based FMCDs model to study these activating mutations is...
