CalDAG-GEFI Deficiency in a Family with Symptomatic Heterozygous and Homozygous Carriers of a Likely Pathogenic Variant in <i>RASGRP2</i>

<i>RASGRP2</i> encodes the calcium and diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor I (CalDAG-GEFI) identified as a Rap1-activating molecule. Pathogenic variants previously identified in <i>RASGRP2</i> allowed the characterization of CalDAG-GEFI deficienc...
