Abstract excerpt
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are increasingly linked to genetic mutations that disrupt key neuronal processes. The KCNB2 gene encodes a crucial component of voltage-gated potassium channels, essential for regulating neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission. Mutations in KCNB2 typically alter potassium channel inactivation, leading to various NDDs, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD),...
