NCIt definition : Human CAPRIN1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p13 and is approximately
51 kb in length. This allele, which encodes caprin-1 protein, plays a role in RNA
binding and the formation of cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules, which downregulate
protein translation. Mutation of the gene is associated with both childhood-onset
neurodegeneration with cerebellar ataxia and cognitive decline (CONDCAC), and neurodevelopmental
disorder with language impairment, autism and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder
(NEDLAAD).;
