Researchers at Kumamoto University have identified mutations in the proteoglycan Tsukushi as a cause of hydrocephalus. The study, which was published in the March 31, 2021, issue of Science Translational Medicine, adds to the evidence that a significant proportion of hydrocephalus are due to genetic alterations.
