$0.00

Dr. Boaz Barak of the Brain Behavior Lab gives a detailed presentation on the role of Gtf2i in Myelination Deficits and its role in social behavior in individuals with 7q11.23 duplication.

Dr. Boaz Barak of the Brain Behavior Lab, The School of Psychological Sciences and the Sagol School of Neuroscience, Tel Aviv University, Israel gives a detailed presentation on the role of Gtf2i in Myelination Deficits and its role in social behavior in individuals with 7q11.23 duplication. GTF2i (General Transcription Factor II-I) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GTF2I gene. This gene encodes a multifunctional phosphoprotein with roles in transcription and signal transduction. It is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at chromosome 7q11.23. It is duplicated in the 7q11.23 duplication syndrome. Dr. Barak leads a webinar providing a detailed insight into the effect of this protein on social behavior and members of the Dup7 community. Presented on 13 February 2021 by Duplication Cares.
