What is PLAA-associated neurodevelopmental disorder?

PLAA-associated neurodevelopmental disorder is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the phospholipase A2-activating protein (PLAA) gene. It is characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, and behavioral problems. Affected individuals may also have seizures, hypotonia, and/or autism spectrum disorder.
