Abstract excerpt
GRM7, the gene encoding metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7), have been implicated in multiple neuropsychiatric disorders and shown to mediate excitatory synaptic neurotransmitter signaling and plasticity in the mammalian brain. Here we report a 303 kb de novo deletion at band 3p26.1, disrupting five coding exons of GRM7 in a proband with autism spectrum disorder, and hyperactivity. Our exon...
