A new member of the Il-1 receptor family highly expressed in hippocampus and involved in X-linked mental retardation. Nat Genet. 23:1999;25-31. The ILIRAPL gene is deduced from the analysis of the available genomic sequence in the critical region. This is the first example in the case of NSMR of a gene identified in silico. The study is a very nice demonstration of the expression of IL1RAPL during mouse development and in structures known to be involved in memory development, such as the hippocampus, dentate gyrus and enthorinal cortex.

A missense mutation in RPSKA3 (RSK2) responsible for non-specific mental retardation. Nat Genet. 22:1999;13-14. In this paper, the important observation is made that a mild mutation in a gene responsible for a syndromic form of very severe mental retardation causes NSMR.

In this paper, experiments are presented to try to underline the role of the Rsk-2 gene. The authors show that Rsk-2 is required for EGF-stimulated histone H3 phosphorylation and suggest that histone H3 and chromatin may be either a direct or indirect target of Rsk-2.
