A Novel YWHAG Variant L173S Causes Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy by Disrupting the Hydrophobic Internal Protein Structure

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Developmental epileptic encephalopathy 56 (DEE56) is a monogenic DEE type caused by heterozygous mutations in YWHAG. To our knowledge, fewer than 30 cases of DEE56 have been reported globally, and our understanding of YWHAG's function remains limited. Methods Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the patient and his parents.
