Abstract
⺠ARX is a transcription factor deeply involved in interneuron development. ⺠ARX mutations can cause epilepsy, infantile spasms, and intellectual disability. ⺠Downstream consequences of Arx mutations reveal complex molecular pathogenesis. ⺠Mouse models of human ARX mutations are valuable tools to study role of Arx in vivo. ⺠New mouse models provide a substrate for the investigation of novel therapies.
