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...
