How does ACBD6 deficiency mechanistically cause the specific pattern of midline brain malformations?

OPEN

The study identifies consistent midline brain abnormalities (corpus callosum defects, anterior commissure hypoplasia, midbrain shortening) in 38-70% of patients, but doesn't explain how disrupted N-myristoylation leads to these specific developmental defects. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for targeted therapeutic approaches.
