AAUP Participates in an International Scientific Cooperation in which a New Gene Related to Brain Development and Genetic Disorders in Humans is Discovered

A joint study conducted by scientists from the Faculty of Medicine at the Arab American University (Jenin, Palestine), the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Exeter, UK, and Children's National Hospital (Columbus, USA) discovered that mutations in a gene that is responsible for a range of processes which are Vital for the formation of neurons and their access to the correct place in the embryonic stages cause a well-defined developmental disorder that include a distinctive appearance of the face, a small size of the head, a change in the surface of the brain, also known as lis

The scientific work, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, describes the clinical outcomes of seven patients from five different families, all with mutations in the gene called calmodulin-regulated spectrin-associated protein 1 (CAMSAP1) which causes this rare genetic disease. The genetic alterations in CAMSAP1 lead to abnormalities in neuronal structural proteins, which have an important role in regulating neuronal division and movement during brain development.
