Association of Missense Mutation in FOLH1 With Decreased NAAG Levels and Impaired Working Memory Circuitry and Cognition
1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: -acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) is the selective endogenous agonist of mGluR3, and increasing NAAG may improve cognition. Glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), coded by the gene folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1), regulates the amount of NAAG in the synapse. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between FOLH1, NAAG levels, measures of human cognition, and neural activity associated with...
