DSP


Description

The DSP gene, also known as Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia 1, plays a crucial role in brain development and function. This gene provides instructions for making a protein involved in the formation and maintenance of synapses, the junctions between nerve cells. Disruptions in the DSP gene have been linked to various neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, autism, and intellectual disability. Understanding the role of DSP in brain development and function is essential for developing targeted therapies for these conditions.
