Abstract excerpt
The Oligophrenin 1 (OPHN1) gene, located on Xq12, encodes a Rho GTPase-activating protein that regulates the Rho/Ras signalling pathways essential for cell migration, morphogenesis, dendritogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Pathogenic variants in OPHN1 have been shown to be associated with structural brain malformations. Early neuroimaging reports described nonspecific findings such as an enlarged cisterna magna,...
