All Variants,

All,

This study helps explain that genetic changes linked to conditions like 16p11.2 may affect how the brain’s immune cells (called microglia) regulate gene activity, offering families insight into how genetics can influence brain development—and raising hope for future treatments that target these brain–immune pathways.
