Truncating mutations in SHANK3 associated with global developmental delay interfere with nuclear β-catenin signaling.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in SHANK3, coding for a large scaffold protein of excitatory synapses in the CNS, are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disability (ID). Several cases have been identified in which the mutation leads to truncation of the protein, eliminating C-terminal sequences required for post-synaptic targeting of the protein. We identify here a patient...
