DYRK1A and Dravet syndrome: In mice, Arron et al. [28] found that two critical chr 21 genes (DYRK1A and DSCR1, also known as RCAN1) act synergistically to control the nuclear localization of NFAT family of transcription factors and that knock-out mice for NFATc1, NFATc2, NFATc3 and NFATc4 display cardiovascular, neurological, skeletal and immune phenotypes strikingly similar to DS.
