<i>Drosophila Bchs</i> overexpression recapitulates human <i>WDFY3</i> neurodevelopmental phenotypes with implications for glial cell involvement in altered head circumference
2023-10-17
Abstract excerpt
The autophagy adaptor WDFY3 is linked to neurodevelopmental delay and altered brain size. Loss-of-function variants are associated with an increased brain size in both humans and mice. We thus, hypothesized that the microcephaly observed in some of the patients may be related to a gain-of-function of the WDFY3 gene product. While the role of WDFY3 loss-of-function has been studied extensively in neurons, little...
