Disease
DLG3_HUMAN Defects in DLG3 are the cause of mental retardation X-linked type 90 (MRX90) [MIM:300850. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Non-syndromic mental retardation patients do not manifest other clinical signs.[1]
Function
DLG3_HUMAN Required for learning most likely through its role in synaptic plasticity following NMDA receptor signaling.
