Mutations are a part of how species adapt to the environment over very long periods of time through the process of evolution. Thousands of different genetic disorders can affect human beings.
A study in the journal Pharmaceuticals has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) alter neuronal functionality.
