Tourette's syndrome (TS) is a genetically influenced developmental neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by chronic vocal and motor tics. We studied Slit and Trk-like 1 (SLITRK1) as a candidate gene on chromosome 13q31.1 because of its proximity to a de novo chromosomal inversion in a child with TS. Among 174 unrelated probands, we identified a frameshift mutation and two independent occurrences of the identical variant in the binding site for microRNA hsa-miR-189. These variants were absent from 3600 control chromosomes. SLITRK1 mRNA and hsa-miR-189 showed an overlapping expression pattern in brain regions previously implicated in TS. Wild-type SLITRK1, but not the frameshift mutant, enhanced dendritic growth in primary neuronal cultures. Collectively, these findings support the association of rare SLITRK1 sequence variants with TS.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Abelson, Jesse F -- Kwan, Kenneth Y -- O'Roak, Brian J -- Baek, Danielle Y -- Stillman, Althea A -- Morgan, Thomas M -- Mathews, Carol A -- Pauls, David L -- Rasin, Mladen-Roko -- Gunel, Murat -- Davis, Nicole R -- Ercan-Sencicek, A Gulhan -- Guez, Danielle H -- Spertus, John A -- Leckman, James F -- Dure, Leon S 4th -- Kurlan, Roger -- Singer, Harvey S -- Gilbert, Donald L -- Farhi, Anita -- Louvi, Angeliki -- Lifton, Richard P -- Sestan, Nenad -- State, Matthew W -- K23 RR16118/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS054273/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS43520/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Oct 14;310(5746):317-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16224024" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
