Genetic analysis of periventricular nodular heterotopia 7 caused by a novel NEDD4L missense mutation: Case and literature summary
ConclusionFunctional experiments demonstrated that Gln900Arg probably did not lead to transcriptional abnormalities in this patient, instead leading to increased ubiquitination activity owing to the constitutive activation of the HECT domain, thereby promoting protein degradation. Extensive clinical reports should be generated for patients presenting with PVNH and/or polymicrogyria, developmental delay, syndactyly, and hypotonia to increase the pool of evidence related toNEDD4L.
