Molecular pathology of Schaaf-Yang syndrome: Insights into MAGEL2 gene mutations and truncated proteins

Mutations in the MAGEL2 gene, which cause Schaaf-Yan syndrome (SYS) —an ultra-rare disease that affects neuronal and cognitive development— generate truncated, non-functional proteins that tend to accumulate in the cell nucleus.
