Loss of RUBCN causes autophagy overdrive in a neurodevelopmental disorder with age-dependent neurodegeneration

2026-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic variants in RUBCN, encoding the Run domain Beclin-1 interacting and cysteine-rich domain-containing protein (Rubicon) have been implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 15 (SCAR15). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we report 18 individuals from 15 unrelated families harbouring biallelic RUBCN variants, who present with an a...
