News & Updates
The Termeer Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on connecting life science innovators and catalyzing the creation of new medicines, announced the Class of 2022 Henri Termeer Fellows.
Transcription Factor 4 (TCF4) has been associated with autism, schizophrenia, and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
The WWOX gene is a major source of interest in the context of neurological disorders, especially developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs).
WWOX is an emerging neural gene regulating homeostasis of the central nervous system. Mutations in WWOX cause WWOX-related epileptic encephalopathy (WOREE) syndrome and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
Chd2 is implicated in neurological disease. Chaserr, a conserved long noncoding RNA, acts in concert with CHD2.
