    A new study reveals how a rare genetic mutation can lead to intellectual disability


    About 1% of the world's population suffers from intellectual disabilities


    The P212L mutation is very rare, but a patient was found in Japan who subsequently participated in a study


    Since our eyes cannot directly see this level of response, it must be monitored


    This new method allows the research team to quickly and accurately analyze nearly a hundred cell extracts and study their biological activity


    The team hopes its research will help determine treatment options for


    "To date, there are no effective drugs to treat children


    Looking ahead, Fujii said: "Mutations in CaMKIIalpha are already associated with other neurodevelopmental disorders, so by applying this FRET-based kinase phenotype platform, we may be able to elucidate the development and treatment strategies
