GRIN Genes Research Roundtable Summary 

CureGRIN Foundation hosted our third GRIN Genes Roundtable on December 10, 2020. Our goal is to promote collaboration so that we can accelerate the path to treatments and cures for GRIN Disorder.

We brought together researchers and clinicians studying GRIN Disorder, GRIN genes, NMDA receptors, and other ionotropic receptors to discuss and exchange ideas on animal and cell models. There were 54 participants present for the meeting.

We asked Sandra Silva and Christian Brander to share their family story about their daughter with a variant in GRIN2B. We also asked Steve Rockwood from Jackson Labs to share information about the JAX repository and their mouse line donation program.  Additionally, a panel of five researchers presented on their work with animal and cell models. Following the presentations, we also had an open discussion on this topic. This document summarizes these presentations.

Our next GRIN Genes Research Roundtable is scheduled for Thursday, January 21, 2021. If you are a GRIN / NMDA researcher or clinician, please feel free to reach out to keith@curegrin.org to be added to the next meeting invitation.
