In any case, a relevance of Trappc9 expression in NSCs is implied by the finding of reduced numbers of Sox2-positive stem cells in the subventricular zone and hippocampal subgranular zone of knock-out mice (Usman et al., 2022), which might be linked to their microcephaly phenotype (Ke et al., 2020; Liang et al., 2020; Wilton et al., 2020; Aslanger et al., 2022). Here, TRAPPC9 is linked to microcephaly.
