Descriptions

The retinoic acid induced 1 (RAI1) gene, located in the 17p11.2 region, is the causative gene for Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS). SMS and PTLS are characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation resulting from either a deletion (SMS) or duplication (PTLS) of the 17p11.2 chromosome region. The disorders are diagnosed using a combination of clinically recognized phenotypes and molecular cytogenetic analyses, including fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Clinically, PTLS presents as a milder syndrome than SMS. Source: Regenstrief LOINC, PMID: 18373405

The RAI1 gene (retinoic acid induced 1) [HGNC Gene ID:9834] is located on chromosome 17p11.2. This gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. It is highly similar to its mouse counterpart and is expressed at high levels mainly in neuronal tissues. The protein encoded by this gene includes a polymorphic polyglutamine tract in the N-terminal domain. Expression of the mouse counterpart in neurons is induced by retinoic acid. This gene is associated with both the severity of the phenotype and the response to medication in schizophrenic patients.
