| 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 |
Clinically affected; macrocephaly: OFC>99th percentile for age, but no dysmorphic features; moderate intellectual disability: gross and fine motor skills on target; language delay: first word spoken at 18 months; no behavioral phenotype, however sometimes easily distracted, has difficulty sustaining attention; learning disability noted in first grade, with ongoing overall delay in cognitive, adaptive, and social development; no history of seizures, however brain MRI at age 13 years showed pachygyria; whole exome sequencing confirmed by Sanger sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation c.382G>C (p.Gly128Arg) in the CRADD gene; mother (unaffected carrier) is GM25977; paternal grandfather (unaffected carrier) is GM25979. |
