Shank3 modulates Rpl3 expression and protein synthesis via mGlu5: implications for Phelan McDermid syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Mutations or deletions in the SHANK3 gene have been identified in up to 1% of autism spectrum disorder cases and are considered the primary cause of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Phelan McDermid syndrome (PMS). While synaptic dysfunctions have been extensively documented in the absence of Shank3, other mechanisms through which Shank3 may regulate neuronal functions remain unclear. In this study, we report that the...
