Research Simplified with Dominique Lessard
Dominique Lessard collaborated with KIF1A.ORG to explain the KIF1A research being led by her and others at Berger Lab. Through this research we learn what distinguishes the KIF1A motor protein as one of the most effective at cargo transport.
In this edition of Research Simplified, we’ll take Dominique’s research paper, “Regulation of KIF1A motility via polyglutamylation of tubulin C-terminal tails,” and simplify it for the KIF1A community.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your time Shannon and Dominque. Julianna has been on the mito-cocktail. has anyone investigated this any further? Use of it? Contacting UMDF about their patient pool of “unspecified” miot like Julianna.
Thank you,

I would contact Chung Lab to see if they have any information.
Sorry I am back. I know Julianna has a De novo finding. Yet I see my siblings and cousins with boys have mild forms of Aspergers. Any correlation’s?
Thank you again for your time.

I would also contact Chung Lab to get their expert input.
