Mutations of the synapse genes and intellectual disability syndromes.

Abstract excerpt

Intellectual disability syndromes have been found associated to numerous mutated genes that code for proteins functionally involved in synapse formation, the regulation of dendritic spine morphology, the regulation of the synaptic cytoskeleton or the synthesis and degradation of specific synapse proteins. These studies have strongly demonstrated that even mild alterations in synapse morphology and function give...
