The <i>CC2D1A</i>, a member of a new gene family with C2 domains, is involved in autosomal recessive non-syndromic mental retardation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The molecular basis of autosomal recessive non-syndromic mental retardation (NSMR) is poorly understood, mostly owing to heterogeneity and absence of clinical criteria for grouping families for linkage analysis. Only two autosomal genes, the PRSS12 gene on chromosome 4q26 and the CRBN on chromosome 3p26, have been shown to cause autosomal recessive NSMR, each gene in only one family. OBJECTIVE: To...
