Our study suggests that disruption of TBC1D7 causes ID but without the other typical features found in TSC. Although megalencephaly is not commonly observed in TSC, it has been associated with mTORC1 activation. Our observation thus reinforces the relationship between this pathway and the development of megalencephaly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
