GRIN1-related disorders

GRIN1-related disorder is characterized by mild-to-profound developmental delay / intellectual disability in all affected individuals. Other common manifestations are epilepsy, muscular hypotonia, movement disorders, spasticity, feeding difficulties, and behavior problems. A subset of individuals shows a malformation of cortical development consisting of extensive and diffuse bilateral polymicrogyria. More details can be found on GeneReviews.

What are GRIN-related disorders?

Expert curated subtitles available in English, German, Danish, Greek, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, and Romanian.

If your family has received a diagnosis of GRIN-related disorders, you've probably never heard of it before. That's okay. Your doctors probably haven't either! But the GRIN Portal community is here to help.

This 6-minute What are GRIN-related disorders? video helps families learn about these disorders in plain language. You'll learn:

- Scientific terms (such as genes, proteins, and variants/mutations) that will help you understand GRIN-related disorders
- What causes GRIN-related disorders
- How GRIN-related disorders are diagnosed
- The symptoms of GRIN-related disorders

Functional data represent fold changes in receptor activity by gene variant compared to wild-type. Zero means no change from wild-type. Logarithmic scaling was used for the plot. Fold changes below 0.02 are displayed as 0.02. Fold changes >50 are displayed as 50.

Disclaimer: The functional data on this website is provided for academic and research purposes only. It has not undergone clinical validation, and should not be used for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

If you are from Europe, Asia, Africa or other

This chapter of the study is led by geneticist Dr. Johannes Lemke (University of Leipzig). Please fill out the online consent form and continue with the online clinical questionnaire; you can ask your doctor to help fill it out. Please keep your return code and return link to re-access your entry at a later time. The Leipzig team will contact CFERV to conduct functional studies for novel variants entered in the registry. In case we have questions on your entry, you may be contacted by an administrator. In case you have questions, please contact GRIN@medizin.uni-leipzig.de .


Info

Both chapters of the registry will be merged, and patients only need to be enrolled at Colorado or Leipzig. If you have already enrolled but have additional novel information, please get in contact and update your entry.

If you are from North or South America or Australia

1. Email grinresearch@cuanschutz.edu your de-identified genetic testing results to make sure you qualify (and any other questions too!).
2. After we review your genetic testing results, the research coordinator will send you a consent form; sign and return to them. This may take 1-2 weeks.
3. The coordinator will send you the clinical questionnaire. We are updating the questionnaire and want you to fill out the latest version, even if you've already done it before.
4. Fill out the questionnaire; you can ask your doctor to help fill it out.
5. Return the filled-out questionnaire to the coordinator; they will contact CFERV to conduct functional studies for novel variants. Functional analysis takes several months. Your clinician can contact us at grinresearch@cuanschutz.edu to review your results or to discuss medical management. We cannot discuss medical management with you directly.
6. In the near future, we will email you for yearly updates. If you haven't heard from us, then please contact us again. Thank you for participating!!!!

Portal version 1.1

The GRIN Portal is a coalition of investigators seeking to aggregate and harmonize data generated to study GRIN-related disorders, and to make summary data interactively accessible for the wider scientific community, while providing educational resources for everyone. The goals of this project are:

  • Providing information on GRIN-related disorders
  • Supporting research on GRIN-related disorders
  • Facilitating recruitment of individuals to the global GRIN registries

  • Providing support in variant interpretation and classification
  • Visualizing data from the global GRIN registries
  • Linking researchers, clinicians and families

The project is overseen by Johannes Lemke (contact PI), Steve Traynelis (contact PI), Tim Benke and Dennis Lal. This GRIN Portal is an ongoing project and interested collaborators are invited to reach out to join the project. For more information about ongoing projects see here .
The current version of the GRIN Portal has been developed by an international team of researchers and clinicians:
