Kerstin Kutsche and colleagues report that mutations in GRIN2A and GRIN2B cause variable neurodevelopmental phenotypes including mental retardation and epilepsy. GRIN2A and GRIN2B encode regulatory subunits of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which mediate excitatory neurotransmission in the brain.
