On this page, you will find information about a genetic change that was identified in a UDN participant. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.
Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.
A change in this gene was identified in a female, age 4 with seizures and global developmental delay (read full description).

glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 2A
The GRIN2A gene codes for the GluN2A protein, which is a subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. The NMDA receptor is a neurotransmitter-gated ion channel that plays a role in the functioning of synapses in the brain (Endele et al., 2010).
