TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
constitutional germinal mutation      
missense variant (F900V) in DLG2 (which encodes DLG2) that cosegregated with the delayed puberty
constitutional   deletion    
partial deletion of the DLG2 gene in patients with global developmental delay and intellectual disability
Susceptibility
  • to schizophrenia
  • Parkinson's disease (PD)
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • copy number variants indicating loss of function in the DLG2 gene have been associated with markedly increased risk for schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability
  • DLG2 rs3793947 AA genotype showed a significantly lower prevalence in female PD patients compared to the female controls
  • Candidate gene

    overexpression of DLG2 might be a potential therapy for AD
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Dlg2+/- rats had reduced supra-linear dendritic integration of synaptic inputs resulting in impaired associative long-term potentiation
