Spermine synthase deficiency causes lysosomal dysfunction and oxidative stress in models of Snyder-Robinson syndrome

Mutations in spermine synthase lead to Snyder-Robinson syndrome, a form of intellectual disability syndrome. Here the authors develop a Drosophila model of this disease, and show that lysosomal dysfunction and oxidative stress contribute to the morphological phenotype in these flies, as well as to c...

Sumario:Mutations in spermine synthase lead to Snyder-Robinson syndrome, a form of intellectual disability syndrome. Here the authors develop a Drosophila model of this disease, and show that lysosomal dysfunction and oxidative stress contribute to the morphological phenotype in these flies, as well as to cellular deficits in cells derived from patients.
