The startle disease mutation α1S270T predicts shortening of glycinergic synaptic currents.

Abstract excerpt

KEY POINTS: Loss-of-function mutations in proteins found at glycinergic synapses, most commonly in the α1 subunit of the glycine receptor (GlyR), cause the startle disease/hyperekplexia channelopathy in man. It was recently proposed that the receptors responsible are presynaptic homomeric GlyRs, rather than postsynaptic heteromeric GlyRs (which mediate glycinergic synaptic transmission), because heteromeric GlyRs...
