Genetic and Functional Analyses of SHANK2 Mutations Suggest a Multiple Hit Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders

TL;DR: The identification of a novel 421 kb de novo SHANK2 deletion in a patient with autism strengthens the role of synaptic gene dysfunction in ASD but also highlights the presence of putative modifier genes, in keeping with the “multiple hit model” for ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concerted action of zinc and ProSAP/Shank in synaptogenesis and synapse maturation

TL;DR: It is reported that Zn2+ ions, which are highly enriched within the postsynaptic density (PSD), are able to influence the recruitment of ProSAP/Shank proteins to PSDs in a family member‐specific manner during the course of synaptogenesis and synapse maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abelson interacting protein 1 (Abi-1) is essential for dendrite morphogenesis and synapse formation

TL;DR: Data show that Abi‐1 can act as a specific synapto‐nuclear messenger and is essentially involved in dendrite and synapse formation, and co‐immunoprecipitates with the transcription factor complex of Myc/Max proteins and enhances E‐box‐regulated gene transcription.
