Neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1 (NOVA1)

Definition: 

A gene that encodes an RNA-binding protein primarily involved in regulating alternative splicing in neurons. NOVA1 is involved in early brain development and is implicated in autism and schizophrenia. Archaic variants of NOVA1 archealized into human brain organoids affect alternative splicing, synaptic protein interactions, and neural connectivity.
