NCIt definition : Human GRIN2B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p12 and is approximately
419 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glutamate receptor ionotropic, NMDA 2B
protein, is involved in both glutamate binding and calcium transport. Mutation of
the gene and chromosomal translocations involving the gene, t(9;12)(p23;p13.1) and
t(10;12)(q21.1;p13.1), are associated with mental retardation.;
NCIt note : Mutation of the GRIN2B gene may be associated with autism. (Nature. 2012; 485:246-250.);
