Abstract

Faulty channels, not faulty synapses: SHANK3 is a widely expressed scaffolding protein that is enriched in postsynaptic specializations. In mutant mice, SHANK3 mutations cause autism-like behavioral changes and exhibit alterations in synaptic transmission. Yi et al. produced human neurons lacking SHANK3 but not other genes that are also involved in the autism-like disease Phelan-McDermid syndrome. Instead of affecting synapses, SHANK3 mutations primarily caused a channelopathy, with the major phenotype consisting of a specific impairment of HCN channels. Chronic impairment of membrane currents through channelopathy could account for the phenotypes observed in Phelan-McDermid neurons, such as alterations in cognitive functions and the predisposition to epilepsy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
