Further Evidence for LRRC7 Gene Involvement in Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Novel Variant.

Functional evidence strengthens understanding of a rare gene's role in neurodevelopmental disorders, advancing diagnosis for affected families.

A novel variant in the LRRC7 gene was identified in a patient with neurodevelopmental disorder and functionally validated. This strengthens the genotype-phenotype relationship for this rare disease gene.
