Summary
This paper investigates the role of the CASK gene in the central nervous system, focusing on how mutations in this gene can lead to disorders such as Microcephaly with Pontine and Cerebellar Hypoplasia (MICPCH) and optic nerve hypoplasia.
Categories
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how mutations in the CASK gene can lead to intellectual disability and failure to develop language, indicating a significant impact on cognitive function and memory.
Psychiatric Disorders: The paper mentions that mutations in the CASK gene can lead to diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder, indicating a relevance to psychiatric disorders.
Eye health: The paper explores how mutations in the CASK gene can lead to optic nerve hypoplasia, a condition that affects the health of the eyes.
Aging: The paper discusses how the CASK gene affects the central nervous system, which is relevant to the aging process as the central nervous system undergoes significant changes with age.
