Interestingly, disruption in the abundance of the postsynaptic SHANK3 cytoskeletal anchoring protein has been associated with neurological disorders including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BD), Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS; 22q13.3 deletion syndrome), intellectual disability, schizophrenia (SZ), and sporadic AD (9, 10, 14). Here, SHANK3 is linked to nervous system disorder.
