1. Dyrk1a recruits PV IN mediated feed-forward inhibition in DG-CA2 and DG-CA3 to mediate social recognition 2. Using genetic epistasis, we identify molecular & circuit-based enhancers of Dyrk1a function to reverse developmental synaptic, circuit & social recognition impairments.
Amy's child Myles has a #DYRK1A genetic variant. She shares this advice to newly diagnosed families: "Take a DEEP breath. It will be ok, I know this is earth-shattering news. Your child will make leaps and goals in their own time." #SimonsSearchlight

DYRK1A syndrome
- frequent cause of NDD
- mostly missense variants in Kinase domain
- noted effect on autophosphorilation
- typically microcephaly, but a mirror seen
- expressive communication features prominent
Much data from

Congrats @LittleLevyy in the @damonpagelab on a successful defense! Levy's focus was on investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying brain undergrowth & #autism-relevant behavioral deficits caused by #DYRK1A mutations, & identifying potential targeted therapeutics.
Check this out. A demo of what our new banner will look like for next season. Proud to display our amazing sponsors and an honour to have @DYRK1Aorg and @Bradleysfight on there too. @IAmJermainDefoe
A new pub by Fenster, Ziegler, and members of the #SimonsSearchlight team analyzed the medical history data of patients w/likely pathogenic or pathogenic variants in the #DYRK1A gene to further establish their connection to neurodevelopmental disorders: https://t.co/XyfizG5ZVJ
The manuscript, in which we identified that mutations in ASD/ID risk gene DYRK1A cause microcephaly and decreased neuronal growth through decreased growth factor signaling, can be found here. @LittleLevyy

George is taking part in our Space Race in memory of his friend James. George has Autism, Visual Impairment, Epilepsy, a Severe Learning Disability, and was recently diagnosed with DYRK1A Syndrome.
Sadly James passed away last year while being supported by us 💙
We helped @RandyMoss organize the first Straight Bass Classic in memory of #SidHartman and to raise awareness about @DYRK1Aorg. Support a great cause by picking up a #StraightBassHomie shirt! Proceeds will go to advancing DYRK1A research: https://t.co/50SwjBp0jA
Happy to share insights from our lab about "Dyrk1a gene dosage in glutamatergic neurons has key effects in cognitive deficits observed in mouse models of MRD7 and Down syndrome … https://t.co/JRiJmAUsSu
Great job by group 2 raise $ for @DYRK1Aorg. Appreciate stories by #vikings on Sid. Still thinking about @ChadHartmanShow quote about son’s courage: “There are people in this room who are heroes to so many people. I have one hero in my life and that’s [Quintin].”
HOF football player and HOF angler?
@RandyMoss helped host the Straight Bass Classic to raise money for @DYRK1Aorg and honor Sid Hartman on Lake Minnetonka today. @kare11#kare11sports
He's back! Our old friend @RandyMoss is back in the Twin Cities to host a fishing tournament benefitting DYRK1A, a rare syndrome that affects @ChadHartmanShow's son Quintin. Chad and Randy talk about that and more including his relationship with Sid!

Memorable day for our family. @RandyMoss came to Lake Minnetonka to honor my father, he raised money for kids who have @DYRK1Aorg like my son and only hero, Quintin. No money goes to our family. If you can contribute in any way, thanks for your consideration. ❤️🙏🏼
