Abstract excerpt
X-linked non-syndromic intellectual disability (XLID) is a common mental disorder recognized by cognitive and behavioral deficits. Mutations in the brain-specific αGDI, shown to alter a subset of RAB GTPases redistribution in cells, are linked to XLID, likely via changes in vesicle traffic in neurons. Here, we show directly that isolated XLID mice astrocytes, devoid of pathologic tissue environment, exhibit...
