Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in GRIN2B, encoding the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) GluN2B subunit, are linked to intellectual disability (ID) and related neurodevelopmental disorders. While most disease-associated variants are missense, protein-truncating variants (PTVs) may cause haploinsufficiency with less severe phenotypes. Here, we characterize a knock-in mouse model carrying the GluN2B-L825Ffs*15 PTV (Grin2b+/Δ). Proteomic...
