Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Yang et al.1 report MFDM-like phenotypes in mice with deletion of Eftud2 in their Purkinje cells (PCs), namely cerebellar atrophy alongside motor and social deficits, similar to phenotypes observed in MFDM patients. The absence of Eftud2 caused mis-splicing of Atf4, reduced Scd1 and Gch1, and promoted ferroptosis-regulated PC death.
