Overview of Gene Research
Grin3b, which encodes the GluN3B subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, is a crucial gene. The NMDA receptor is a glutamate-gated ionotropic cation channel, and many forms of synaptic plasticity rely on calcium ion influx through it. Thus, Grin3b is involved in important neural signal-transduction pathways and is of great significance for normal brain function [1].

In a family with a strong history of psychotic disorders, a frameshift mutation (rs10666583) in the Grin3B gene was found in all family members with a psychotic disorder but not in healthy relatives. This mutation degrades the S1/S2 glycine-binding domain of the GluN3B subunit, affecting the channel pore's calcium-ion permeability and potentially causing impaired NMDA receptor function, suggesting it could be a risk factor for psychotic disorders [1]. Additionally, in a transcriptome-wide association study, GRIN3B blood mRNA levels were associated with chronic vs. resilient post-trauma symptom trajectories, and genetic variants regulating its mRNA blood expression levels were identified, indicating its potential role in the manifestation of PTSD [2].

In conclusion, Grin3b is essential for the normal function of the NMDA receptor and synaptic plasticity. Studies on genetic mutations in families with psychotic disorders and post-trauma symptom trajectories in individuals suggest that Grin3b may play a role in the pathogenesis of psychotic disorders and PTSD, providing valuable insights into these complex neuropsychiatric conditions.
