Expression profiling suggests underexpression of the GABA A receptor subunit δ in the fragile X knockout mouse model

It is still unclear why absence of the fragile X protein (FMRP) leads to mental retardation and specific behavioral problems. In neurons, the protein transports specific mRNAs towards the actively translating ribosomes near the synapses. To unravel the mechanism leading to the disorder, we performed...
