The clinical phenotype associated with mutations in various TRAPP subunits has allowed elucidation of their functions in specific tissues. The role of some subunits in human disease, however, has not been fully established, and their functions remain uncertain.\r\n\r\nObjective: We aimed to expand the range of neurodevelopmental disorders associated with mutations in TRAPP subunits by exome sequencing of consanguineous families.\r\n\r\nMethods: Linkage and homozygosity mapping and candidate gene analysis were used to identify homozygous mutations in families. Patient fibroblasts were used to study splicing defect and zebrafish to model the disease.\r\n\r\nResults: We identified six individuals from three unrelated families with a founder homozygous splice mutation in TRAPPC6B, encoding a core subunit of the complex TRAPP I. Patients manifested a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by microcephaly, epilepsy and autistic features, and showed splicing defect. Zebrafish trappc6b morphants replicated the human phenotype, displaying decreased head size and neuronal hyperexcitability, leading to a lower seizure threshold.\r\n\r\nConclusion: This study provides clinical and functional evidence of the role of TRAPPC6B in brain development and function."}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6056005/"}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2018-01-01T00:00:00Z","issue":"1","month":"01","article_processing_charge":"No","pmid":1,"date_updated":"2023-10-16T09:55:43Z","type":"journal_article","day":"01","project":[{"grant_number":"401299","name":"Probing development and reversibility of autism spectrum disorders","_id":"254BA948-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"}],"isi":1,"year":"2018","intvolume":"        55","volume":55,"publist_id":"7016","_id":"691","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"ista":"Marin Valencia I, Novarino G, Johansen A, Rosti B, Issa M, Musaev D, Bhat G, Scott E, Silhavy J, Stanley V, Rosti R, Gleeson J, Imam F, Zaki M, Gleeson J. 2018.
