TAOK2 has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and TAOK2 mutations found in patients with ASD showed impaired dendrite and synaptic development; the BMIs in the affected patients were not reported (Richter et al., 2019).TAOK2 heterozygous and knockout mice show gene brain morphological and behavioral abnormalities (Richter et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene TAOK2 and neurodevelopmental disorder.
