Novel Mutations in the Asparagine Synthetase Gene (ASNS) Associated With Microcephaly

Novel Mutations in the Asparagine Synthetase Gene (ASNS) Associated With Microcephaly

Microcephaly is a devastating condition defined by a small head and small brain compared to the age- and sex-matched population. Mutations in a number of different genes causative for microcephaly have been identified, e.g., MCPH1, WDR62, and ASPM. Recently, mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme...
