Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Lennox et al. (2020) report the largest cohort of patients to date with DDX3X syndrome, discovering unique genotype-phenotype relationships that inform molecular pathogenesis. They then uncover unique roles of DDX3X in cortical neuron development and ribonucleoprotein granule formation.
