Variation in a range of mTOR-related genes associates with intracranial volume and intellectual disability

Variation in a range of mTOR-related genes associates with intracranial volume and intellectual disability

The mTOR pathway is a key regulator of normal brain development. Here, the authors identify de novo mutations in RHEB, an mTOR activator protein, in patients with intellectual disability associated with megalencephaly and find a role for RHEB in regulating neuronal soma size and migration in vitro a...
