603454.p.Gly128Ar; MENTAL RETARDATION, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE 34 |
| Identified Mutation |
c.382G>C; In 5 Mennonite patients with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation-34 (MRT34; 614499), Puffenberger et al. (2012) identified a homozygous 382G-C transversion in the CRADD gene, resulting in a gly128-to-arg (G128R) substitution in a highly conserved residue in the CRADD death domain. The mutation was found by homozygosity mapping followed by exome sequencing. Seven heterozygous carriers of this mutation were found among 203 Mennonite control samples, yielding a population-specific allele frequency of 1.72%. (Puffenberger (2012) stated that the correct population-specific allele frequency data appear in Table 4; corresponding data in the text are incorrect.) Overexpression of mutant murine Cradd with the G128R mutation showed normal protein localization to the nucleus and cytoplasm. However, when co-overexpressed with wildtype Pidd (605247), mutant G128R Cradd formed large cytoplasmic aggregates with a relative loss of Cradd expression in the nucleus. The findings suggested that the G128R mutation alters 1 of the interaction surfaces of the CRADD death domain to decrease affinity for the PIDD death domain. |
| Remarks |
Unaffected carrier; whole exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous mutation c.382G>C (p.Gly128Arg) in the CRADD gene; affected daughter is GM25980; has second affected daughter (not in catalog). |
