Q
What are four major DD susceptibility genes? What are they responsible for?
A
- ROBO1: Neuroal migration, axonal direction.
- DYX1C1: Neuronal migration, prevents neurons from going up to the contrical plate, associated with deficits in spatial working memory performance, learning, and memory.
- KIAA0319: Neuronal migration during development.
- DCD2: Neuronal migration and axonal outgrowth.
