Unravelling the conundrum of nucleolar NR2F1 localization using antibody-based approaches in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
As a transcription factor, NR2F1 regulates spatiotemporal gene expression in the nucleus particularly during development. Aberrant NR2F1 causes the rare neurodevelopmental disorder Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome.

Disrupted protein interaction dynamics in a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder revealed by structural bioinformatics and genetic code expansion. [PDF]
Abstract Deciphering the structural effects of gene variants is essential for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of genetic diseases. Using a neurodevelopmental disorder called Bosch‐Boonstra‐Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome (BBSOAS) as a genetic disease model, we applied structural bioinformatics and Genetic Code Expansion (GCE) strategies ...

Phenotypic expansion of Bosch–Boonstra–Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome and further evidence for genotype–phenotype correlations [PDF]
Abstract Bosch–Boonstra–Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome (BBSOAS) is an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss‐of‐function variants in NR2F1 and characterized by visual impairment, developmental delay, and intellectual disability.

Mouse Nr2f1 haploinsufficiency unveils new pathological mechanisms of a human optic atrophy syndrome
Optic nerve atrophy represents the most common form of hereditary optic neuropathies leading to vision impairment. The recently described Bosch‐Boonstra‐Schaaf optic atrophy (BBSOA) syndrome denotes an autosomal dominant genetic form of neuropathy caused

Preverbal visual assessment for screening cerebral visual impairment: Diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility. [PDF]
Abstract Aim To evaluate the relationship between Preverbal Visual Assessment (PreViAs) results and cerebral visual impairment (CVI) diagnosis. Method This single‐center retrospective chart review included children who completed a CVI interdisciplinary clinic or occupational therapy vision evaluation between May 2018 and May 2023 and had a completed ...

Conserved DNA methylation signatures in the prefrontal cortex of female newborn and juvenile guinea pigs following antenatal betamethasone exposure. [PDF]
Abstract Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) improve perinatal survival when there is a risk of preterm birth. Although evidence suggests an increased risk of developing neurobehavioural disorders in exposed offspring, the mechanisms involved remain largely unknown.
