Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Expanded characterization of the valproic acid zebrafish larval model of autism spectrum disorder: Insights into dysregulation in the gut

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Meticulous calculation of zebrafish‐equivalent therapeutic valproic acid (VPA) dosage maximized the translational value of the data. Hyposerotonergic tone underpinned an anxiety‐like outcome as a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Compartment‐specific dopaminergic and serotonergic dysregulation in the brain versus gut provided mechanistic ...
