The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature

Functional profiling of STXBP1 missense variants using a novel dual‐readout fluorometric assay
Abstract Objective STXBP1‐related disorders (STXBP1‐RD) are among the most common genetic neurodevelopmental disorders, marked by early onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and motor impairments. Many missense variants remain uncharacterized, limiting accurate variant interpretation and hindering development of precision therapies.
