  "account": "Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that variants in the BRSK1 gene may be responsible for a rare and complex neurodevelopmental disorder. The study, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, utilized AI technology to analyze genomic data and identify a promising candidate for a genetic diagnosis in families with undiagnosed conditions.",
  "summary": "Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital, the Texome Project and collaborating institutions have identified variants in the BRSK1 gene as a likely diagnosis for individuals with a rare and complex neurodevelopmental disorder who had not received an explanation for their condition.",
