Scientists developed a patient-derived organoid model for UBA5-associated encephalopathy, revealing stunted GABAergic interneuron growth as a cause of seizures. Boosting activity of the hypomorphic UBA5 gene shows promise as a potential therapy.

Great #RareDiseaseDay2024 event today @StJudeResearch! So many rare neurological diseases in need of better treatments. We hope to make a difference! 🧠🧬

[St. Jude Research @StJudeResearch]

Catastrophic neurological disorders in children are often caused by a single gene mutation. Most have no effective treatments, making it a huge unmet need. @hcmefford, MD, focuses on neurological diseases like epilepsy & works with PTNI to alter the landscape of these disorders.

[Soham Sengupta @sohamsg90]

Cheers to an amazing colleague & friend...@ebonkowski Your wealth of knowledge and unwavering support make each day brighter. Happy Genetic Counselor Day!!

Such an incredible experience at my first #ASHG conference, especially being part of the amazing @hcmefford Lab team ! Grateful for the shared knowledge, connections made, and the fantastic memories created together. Here's to more enriching experiences ahead! #ASHG2023 🧬🔬

[Dr. Heather Mefford @hcmefford.bsky.social @hcmefford]

What a great week (and party!) @GeneticsSociety #ASHG23! Proud of Mefford lab representation, already looking forward to #ASHG24 in Denver. Special shoutout to Mona Miller, outgoing CEO - thx for your incredible ASHG leadership. 🧬 🧬

[Christy W. LaFlamme @cwlaflamme]

Want to hear more about how #DNA #methylation can be used to diagnose #pediatric #epilepsies? Come out and hear me speak about it at the #ASHG2023 platform tomorrow morning at 10:45am in convention center/ballroom A/level 3! 🧠🧬

[Christy W. LaFlamme @cwlaflamme]

Thrilled to share our work in @hcmefford lab on genome-wide #DNAmethylation analysis in pediatric #epilepsy. In this preprint, we looked for regions of rare DNA methylation and screened for established episignatures to determine diagnostic utility (1/6):
