KIAA0319 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the KIAA0319 gene.[1][2]

Clinical significance

Variants of the KIAA0319 gene have been associated with developmental dyslexia.[3]

Reading disability, or dyslexia, is a major social, educational, and mental health problem. In spite of average intelligence and adequate educational opportunities, 5 to 10% of school children have substantial reading deficits. Twin and family studies have shown a substantial genetic component to this disorder, with heritable variation estimated at 50 to 70%.[1]

An NIDCD-supported investigator recently has identified a mutation in a gene on chromosome 6, called the KIAA0319 gene, that appears to play a key role in Specific Language Impairment.[4]

Function

Over-expression of C-terminally myc-tagged KIAA0319 protein in transiently transfected 293T cells, showing plasma membrane localization. Detection with monoclonal anti-myc 9E10.

The KIAA0319 protein is expressed on the cell membrane and may be involved in neuronal migration. Furthermore KIAA0319 follows a clathrin-mediated endocytic pathway[5]
