MAP1B mutations cause intellectual disability and extensive white matter deficit.


ABSTRACT: Discovery of coding variants in genes that confer risk of neurodevelopmental disorders is an important step towards understanding the pathophysiology of these disorders. Whole-genome sequencing of 31,463 Icelanders uncovers a frameshift variant (E712KfsTer10) in microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) that associates with ID/low IQ in a large pedigree (genome-wide corrected P?=?0.022). Additional stop-gain variants in MAP1B (E1032Ter and R1664Ter) validate the association with ID and IQ. Carriers have 24% less white matter (WM) volume (??=?-2.1SD, P?=?5.1?×?10-8), 47% less corpus callosum (CC) volume (??=?-2.4SD, P?=?5.5?×?10-10) and lower brain-wide fractional anisotropy (P?=?6.7?×?10-4). In summary, we show that loss of MAP1B function affects general cognitive ability through a profound, brain-wide WM deficit with likely disordered or compromised axons.
