Similar to our results, a recent study using the mouse N2a/Neuro2a neuroblastoma cell line failed to detect a defect in autophagy in wdr45 KO cells (in contrast to the previous study from some of the same authors (Zhao et al., 2015)), but did observe dysfunctional autophagy in wdr45 wdr45b double KO cells (Ji et al., 2021). This evidence concerns the gene WDR45B and neuroblastoma.
