<h2>Description</h2>
<section><div class="mp-content"><p><em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy is a condition that affects neurological development. This condition is characterized by delayed development and mild to moderate intellectual disabilities that typically becomes evident before age 2. Over time, many individuals with <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy lose skills that they have learned, such as speech or motor skills. About 20 percent of people with this condition cannot speak. Affected individuals often have neurodevelopmental disorders, such as <a data-pid="16743" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/autism-spectrum-disorder/">autism spectrum disorder</a> or <a data-pid="16985" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder/">attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder</a>. About half of individuals with this condition have recurrent seizures (epilepsy) that typically begin in childhood. Brain changes can also occur. These include brain tissue loss (atrophy) and abnormalities of the tissue connecting the left and right halves of the brain (corpus callosum) or the  hippocampus, which is a region of the brain that is involved in learning and memory.</p><p>Individuals with<em> DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy can also have weak muscle tone (hyptonia), loose joints (joint laxity), or a spine that curves to the side (scoliosis). <a data-pid="16959" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/migraine/"></a>Movement problems, including impaired muscle coordination (ataxia), involuntary muscle coordination (dystonia), or rhythmic shaking (tremor) are common in people with this condition. Other problems can include <a data-pid="16959" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/migraine/">migraine</a>, sleep problems, or anxiety. Some people with <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy have a distinctive body type that includes a long face, slim body, and long fingers.</p><p>Less commonly, <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy can affect a person's vision. Affected individuals can have eyes that do not point in the same direction (strabismus), <a data-pid="16909" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/farsightedness/">farsightedness</a> (hyperopia), or involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus). Some affected individuals have blindness because the area of the brain responsible for processing vision is impaired. </p><p><em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy can also cause gastrointestinal difficulties that make it difficult to eat. These can include a backflow of stomach acids into the esophagus (<a class="image-modal" data-alt="Illustration of the mechanism of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), showing the esophageal sphincter not closing tightly enough, allowing stomach acid to seep back into the esophagus." data-caption="" data-credit="Designua/Shutterstock.com" data-filepath="images/PX00015K_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="Genetics" data-lang="us" data-pix="PX00015K" data-sourceurl="" data-title="Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX00015K_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX00015K_6" title="Show image">gastroesophageal reflux disease<img alt="" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a> or GERD).</p><p><br/></p></div>

<h2>Causes</h2>
<section><div class="mp-content"><p>The <a data-pid="40302" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/dlg4/"><em>DLG4</em></a> gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a role in nerve cells (<a class="image-modal" data-alt="Diagram showing parts of a neuron and structure of a typical chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters are shown packaged into synaptic vesicles and transmitting signals from a neuron to a target cell across the synapse." data-caption="" data-credit="Designua/Shutterstock.com" data-filepath="images/PX00011G_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="Genetics" data-lang="us" data-pix="PX00011G" data-sourceurl="" data-title="Release and uptake of neurotransmitters at a nerve cell synapse" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX00011G_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX00011G_2" title="Show image">neurons<img alt="" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a>) in the brain. The DLG4 protein is found at synapses, which are the connections between neurons where cell-to-cell communication occurs. The DLG4 protein plays roles in synaptic signaling, development, survival, and function. In particular, this protein interacts with other proteins to regulate a process called synaptic plasticity, which allows synapses to change and adapt over time in response to experience. Synaptic plasticity is critical for learning and memory.</p><p>Variants (also called mutations) in the <em>DLG4</em> gene cause <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy. Most of these variants impair the normal function of the DLG4 protein by decreasing its ability to interact with the other proteins involved in synaptic plasticity or decreasing its ability to help synapses send signals. Other variants prevent the production of any normal DLG4 protein. The signs and symptoms of <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy are likely caused by the reduced ability of synapses to change and adapt during important periods of brain development. Movement problems seen in people with <em>DLG4</em>-related synaptopathy may because caused by signaling changes at certain synapses. <style>.cf0{font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:9pt;}</style>In addition, changes that impact synapse development and activity may cause seizures in people with this condition.</p><p>

<h2>Inheritance</h2>
<section><div class="mp- mp-content"><p>This condition is inherited in an <a class="image-modal" data-alt="Neither parent has the mutated gene. A spontaneous mutation occurs during the formation of an egg or sperm cell during embryonic development, leading to an affected child." data-caption="

Most cases of this condition result from new (de novo) variants in the gene that occur during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) in an affected individual's parent or in early embryonic development. These affected individuals have no history of the disorder in their family.</p></div>
