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.
