SHANK3, the synapse, and autism.

Variants of SHANK3, a gene encoding a structural component of the postsynaptic density, have been associated with autism. Mice engineered to carry mutant genes showed autism-like behavioral features that included repetitive grooming and disinclination to socialize.
