Brief description:  Unertan syndrome has been discovered in a family in Turkey. Members of this family walk on all four limbs. The mutation maps to the VLDL receptor. It results in a receptor with no extracellular portion. It causes edema in the brain, which results in brain damage to the region of the brain which directs locomotion. The closest C. elegans ortholog- T13C2.6- has been previously shown to have an embryonic lethal phenotype by RNAi.
