Relevance to Autism
Reduced expression in two out of three brain regions (anterior cingulate gyrus, motor cortex, and thalamus) following gene expression analysis of postmortem brain tissue of autism patients (Anitha et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
May play a role in RNA metabolism in both nuclei and mitochondria. Defects in LRPPRC are the cause of Leigh syndrome French-Canadian type (LSFC) [MIM:220111].
