Genetic mutation in OXR1 gene linked to brain development issues

Study investigates the effects of a loss-of-function mutation in the OXR1 gene on neurodevelopment and cellular functions in the human brain. The research shows that OXR1 deficiency impairs neural differentiation, increases sensitivity to oxidative stress, and alters histone methylation, impacting brain development and potentially contributing to neurological disorders.
