A novel hemizygous mutation associated with severe intellectual disability and epilepsy: a case report

ARHGEF9 encodes collybistin, a brain-specific guanosine diphosphate-guanosine-5′-triphosphate exchange factor that plays an important role in clustering of gephyrin and γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. Overwhelming evidence suggests that defects in this protein can...
