Abstract excerpt
ITPR1 encodes an intracellular receptor for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) which is highly expressed in the cerebellum and is involved in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis. Missense mutations in the InsP3-binding domain (IRBIT) of ITPR1 are frequently associated with early onset cerebellar atrophy. Gillespie syndrome is characterized by congenital ataxia, mild to moderate intellectual disability and iris...
