Relevance to Autism
Rare mutations in the DLGAP2 gene have been identified with autism. In separate studies, de novo duplications were found in patients with ASD (Marshall et al., 2008; Pinto et al., 2010).
Molecular Function
The encoded protein is a membrane-associated guanylate kinase localized at the post-synaptic density in neuronal cells.
