Disease relevance of MAB21L1

 

High impact information on MAB21L1

  • Here we report the cDNA cloning of CAGR1, originally detected in a retinal cDNA library [2].
  • Though insufficient data are available to link the long repeat to this clinical phenotype, an expansion mutation of the CAGR1 repeat can be considered a candidate for the etiology of disorders with anticipation or developmental abnormalities, and particularly any such disorders linked to chromosome 13 [2].
  • Unstable expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in MAB21L1: report of a second pedigree and effect on protein expression [3].
  • This raises the possibility that longer expansions in the MAB21L1 repeat may also be associated with a clinical phenotype [3].
  • MAB21L1, mapped to 13q13, contains a highly polymorphic 5' untranslated CAG repeat that normally ranges from six to 31 triplets in length [3].
 

Biological context of MAB21L1

 

Other interactions of MAB21L1

  • Linkage analysis using additional polymorphic markers narrowed the region of the GER gene to a 9 cM interval between markers D13S263 and CAGR1, formally excluding HTR2A as a candidate gene [5].
