Disease Associations

Cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegic 1 (CPSQ1) [MIM:603513]: A non-progressive disorder of movement and/or posture resulting from defects in the developing central nervous system. Affected individuals manifest symmetrical, non-progressive spasticity and no adverse perinatal history or obvious underlying alternative diagnosis. Developmental delay, mental retardation and sometimes epilepsy can be part of the clinical picture. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15571623}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 3 is expressed in pancreatic islets, testis, adrenal cortex, and perhaps other endocrine tissues, but not in brain. {ECO:0000269PubMed:10671565}.
