The role of Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule in Down syndrome

扫码查看
Down syndrome(DS)is caused by the presence of an extra copy of the entire or a portion of human chromosome 21(HSA21).This genomic alteration leads to elevated expression of numerous HSA21 genes,resulting in a variety of health issues in individuals with DS.Among the genes located in the DS "critical region" of HSA21,Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule(DSCAM)plays an important role in neuronal development.There is a growing body of evidence underscoring DSCAM's involve-ment in various DS-related disorders.This review aims to provide a concise overview of the established functions of DSCAM,with a particular focus on its implications in DS.We delve into the roles that DSCAM plays in DS-associated diseases.In the concluding section of this review,we explore prospective avenues for future research to further unravel DSCAM's role in DS and opportunities for thera-peutic treatments.
