Abstract excerpt
Recent genetic work characterized homozygous mutations in the SIL1 gene as cause for the neurodegeneration that is associated with Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome in man and the woozy mouse mutant. All reported mutations were expected to result in loss of Sil1 function. Sil1 has previously been shown to act as nucleotide exchange factor for the molecular chaperone immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP) in...
