Background
This gene encodes a large secreted extracellular matrix protein thought to control cell-cell interactions critical for cell positioning and neuronal migration during brain development. This protein may be involved in schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder, major depression and in migration defects associated with temporal lobe epilepsy. Mutations of this gene are associated with autosomal recessive lissencephaly with cerebellar hypoplasia. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. Other transcript variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
developmental stage:Expressed in fetal and postnatal brain and liver. Expression in postnatal human brain is high in the cerebellum.,disease:Defects in RELN are the cause of lissencephaly type 2 (LIS2) [MIM:257320]; also known as lissencephaly with cerebellar hypoplasia or Norman-Roberts syndrome. LIS2 is a classic type lissencephaly associated with abnormalities of the cerebellum, hippocampus and brainstem. Individuals with LIS2 are severely ataxic, mentally retarded and suffer from epilepsy.,disease:Defects in RELN may contribute to susceptibility to schizophrenia. Expression of the protein is reduced to about 50% in patients with schizophrenia.,disease:Defects in RELN may predispose to autistic disorder. A polymorphic GGC triplet repeat located in the 5'-UTR region of RELN gene, which harbors in the normal population 8 to 10 repeats, is significantly increased in autistic patients to
