Recently, a competing lab has shown that Kctd13 is a key regulator of neural progenitor proliferation. Aberrant proliferation would be most likely to directly alter which of the following processes?

a. Axonal pathfinding

b. neural tube closure

c. brain growth

d. hydrocephalus

Solution

Kctd13 is a key regulator of neural progenitor proliferation. it is related to autism. it causes microcephaly in brain with increase in apoptosis; so it alters brain growth.
