Mutations in the GRID2 gene encoding for GluD2 have been recently associated with cerebellar ataxia in several patients (Hills et al., 2013; Utine et al., 2013; Maier et al., 2014; Coutelier et al., 2015; Van Schil et al., 2015; Ali et al., 2017). The gene discussed is GRID2; the disease is cerebellar ataxia.
