Abstract excerpt
TrkB, a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by gene NTRK2, is essential for diverse biological processes in both the developing and mature mammalian nervous systems. Whole exome sequencing of children with developmental epileptic encephalopathy revealed an intriguing syndrome caused by a rare de novo recurrent variant of TrkB, namely Y434C. Investigating the biochemical properties of the Y434C mutant protein is an...
