Abstract excerpt
N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) mediate a slow component of excitatory synaptic transmission that plays important roles in normal brain function and development. A large number of disease-associated variants in the GRIN gene family encoding NMDAR GluN subunits have been identified in patients with various neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Many of these variants reduce the function of NMDARs by...
