The edge of SYNGAP1 โ€“ familial variants in a complex neurodevelopmental disorder | Beyond the Ion Channel Bridge the gap. There are very few conditions that I have learned as much about in the last three years as SYNGAP1-related disorders. We just passed the critical milestone of 100 SYNGAPians followedโ€ฆ
