Here the authors show that the Koolen-de Vries syndrome associated gene KANSL1 modulates autophagosome-lysosome fusion via transcriptional regulation of autophagosomal gene Syntaxin17, and that 13-cis retinoic acid can reverses mitophagic defects and neurobehavioural abnormalities of mice lacking Kansl1.
