Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Biallelic DIAPH1 mutations are linked to hereditary microcephaly syndrome, yet the underlying pathogenic mechanism remains unelucidated. This study aimed to clarify how DIAPH1 biallelic mutations cause microcephaly and visual impairment, focusing on the gene’s regulatory role in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed on a patient’s peripheral blood to...
