Abstract excerpt
D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) maintains the intracellular d-serine level which modulates the activity of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor and its dysfunction has been linked to several neurodegenerative disorders. In targeted next-generation sequencing study by our group, E121K mutation in DAO was associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in patients from India. However, variations in molecular mechanisms...
