خلاصہ: MDGA2 gene malfunction removes brain's excitatory 'brake' to trigger severe epilepsy, study finds
The DGIST Center for Synapse Diversity and Specificity has identified MDGA2 as a novel causative gene for developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE), a rare and intractable neurological disorder occurring in infancy and early childhood. This study advances the understanding of the causes of DEE and highlights the potential for early diagnosis and the development of new therapies.
