Research in mice suggests that adults can overcome developmental deficits caused by GRIN Disorder.

Researchers at the University of Toronto tested whether repairing a Grin1 mutation in mice can restore cognitive function. In the article, “Consequences of NMDA receptor deficiency can be rescued in the adult brain”, they report that adult mice born without functioning NMDA receptors (NMDARs) recovered cognitive ability with gene editing.
