Abstract excerpt
Two syndromic cognitive impairment disorders have very similar craniofacial dysmorphisms. One is caused by mutations of SATB2, a transcription regulator and the other by heterozygous mutations leading to premature stop codons in UPF3B, encoding a member of the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay complex. Here we demonstrate that the products of these two causative genes function in the same pathway. We show that the...
