Human Genetics of Face Recognition: Discovery of<i>MCTP2</i>Mutations in Humans with Face Blindness (Congenital Prosopagnosia)
2021-10-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Face recognition is important for both visual and social cognition. While congenital prosopagnosia (CP) or face blindness has been known for seven decades and electrophysiological studies have characterized face specific neurons for half a century, no molecular analyses have been undertaken. Here we report results of research combining classic genetics and modern genomics. From a large family with...
