Abstract excerpt
Homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing in two affected siblings of a consanguineous family with mild intellectual disability, spastic paraplegia, and strabismus revealed a homozygous premature stop mutation at codon 139 of C12ORF65. Two previous studies reported truncating mutations at positions 84 and 132 of the protein. However, symptoms of the referred patients were only partially overlapping. Considering...
