MYT1L
Project description
MYT1L is a new candidate gene for intellectual disability, due to the embryonic expression restricted to post-mitotic neurons, the association with other neurological disorders and the role in the direct conversion of fibroblasts to functional neurons. By integrating transcriptomics and proteomics we will try to unravel the cellular function of this gene and the pathways wherein it is involved.
