Abstract excerpt
Vici syndrome (VS) is a rare pediatric genetic disorder characterized by profound developmental delay, seizures, immune deficits, cardiomyopathy and progressive motor dysfunction. This devastating condition is caused by pathogenic variants in the EPG5 gene, which encodes a regulator of autophagy, leading to the accumulation of toxic intracellular material and widespread cellular dysfunction. Less-severe EPG5...
