Variants at position R196 in cytoskeletal β‐actin are the most common variants associated with Baraitser–Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome and result in craniofacial anomalies and neurodevelopmental disorders, most likely due to neuronal migration defects. This study explores the molecular mechanisms of p.R196 variants using purified proteins.

Generation of Neural Organoids and Their Application in Disease Modeling and Regenerative Medicine
Neural organoids provide a versatile platform for neurological research. Advances in organoid technology have partially achieved human neural tissue complexity in terms of tissue structure, cell diversity, and neural signaling, offering insights into neural disorders and regenerative strategies. Technology advances from biomaterials, bio‐manufacturing,

The influence of biophysical parameters in a biomechanical model of cortical folding patterns
Abnormal cortical folding patterns, such as lissencephaly, pachygyria and polymicrogyria malformations, may be related to neurodevelopmental disorders.

Abstract Knobloch Syndrome‐1 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder typically diagnosed postnatally and characterized by occipital encephalocele, high myopia, and vitreoretinal degeneration. We describe a fetus with a constellation of prenatal neuroimaging findings, including occipital cephalocele, vermian dysplasia, bilateral polymicrogyria, and ...

Abnormal cavum septi pellucidi is the most common indirect sign of partial agenesis of corpus callosum (pACC). A cystic mass in the midline that communicates with the third ventricle may be an indirect sign of pACC. PACC is highly associated with intra‐ and extracranial malformations.

Cytomegalic parvalbumin neurons in fetal cases of hemimegalencephaly
Abstract Objective Mutations in genes of the mTOR pathway have been identified as a major cause of hemimegalencephaly (HMG), focal cortical dysplasia type II, and tuberous sclerosis, cortical malformations associated with epilepsy. These conditions are characterized at the cellular level by increased size of pyramidal neurons that grow with dysmorphic ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Proteus Syndrome: About a Case
ABSTRACT Proteus syndrome (PS) is a rare disorder (< 1/1000000), marked by progressive overgrowth commonly impacting the skeleton, skin, adipose tissue, and central nervous system. Clinical criteria were established in 2019. PS arises from a somatic activating variation in the AKT1 gene.

ABSTRACT Heterozygous de novo loss of function variants in the motor domain of KIF5C are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile‐onset epilepsy, frontal cortical dysplasia, and developmental delays including motor and speech impairments. Previously, only three missense variants in KIF5C were known to be pathogenic.

Lissencephaly–pachygyria-severe band heterotopia are diffuse neuronal migration disorders (NMDs) causing severe, global neurological impairment. Abnormalities of the LIS1, DCX, ARX, TUBA1A and RELN genes have been associated with these malformations ...
