This new ITHACA webinar will focus on elucidating neurodevelopmental disorders caused by deleterious variants in the human RAC1 and RAC3 genes, including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders and epilepsy.
These genes encode proteins that are crucial for brain development by regulating cell signaling pathways involved in neuronal migration, differentiation and synaptic function. In this webinar, we’ll explore the biological functions of RAC1 and RAC3, the mechanisms underlying the disruption of normal neurodevelopment in humans, and the clinical features seen in affected individuals. We will discuss current research, diagnostic insights and potential therapeutic strategies for these rare but impactful genetic conditions.
Date: Tuesday 21 January, 17:00 – 18:30
