2021, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :As seen in GluD1 KO, many mouse models of ASD (autism spectrum disorder)-associated genes show synaptic and anatomical changes in the striatum (Fuccillo, 2016). GluD1 and Cbln1 join the list of synaptic proteins which genetically correlate with autism, including Shank proteins, contactin associated proteins, and neurexins (Clarke et al., 2012; Jones et al., 2013; Monteiro and Feng, 2017; Peñagarikano et al., 2011; Strauss et al., 2006; Südhof, 2017; Tromp et al., 2020; Vaags et al., 2012; Yan et al., 2008). Structural changes in the striatum are also reported consistently in autistic human populations, as is striatal hyperconnectivity (Dupong and Di Martino, 2020).
