A neurodegenerative disorder has been ascribed to a loss of function mutation of Nrd1 in a patient. Mutations in two known disease-related genes have also been identified in this patient but those have either been reported as benign or their known clinical symptoms do not match the phenotype of the patient.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Adult flies with Nrd1Q376X mutant retinal somatic clones show age-progressive loss of synaptic transmission in photoreceptor cells (characterized by loss of on- and off-transients and decreased amplitude of electroretinogram readings compared to wild-type controls) as well as progressive morphological defects and photoreceptor loss.

Nrd1Q376X mutant larvae do not show any significant decrease in the mitochondria copy number or in the mitochondrial membrane potential relative to controls.

Statement
Reference

The loss of synaptic transmission in photoreceptor cells (characterized by loss of on- and off-transients in electroretinogram readings) observed in aged adult flies with Nrd1Q376X mutant retinal somatic clones is partially suppressed by expression of S6kKQ.Scer\UAS controlled by the Scer\GAL4ninaE.PU driver.

Xenogenetic Interactions
Statement
Reference

The pupal lethality of the Nrd1Q376X mutants can be rescued by expression of Hsap\NRDCScer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 but not Hsap\NRDCM636Vstop.Scer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 in the mutant background.

Complementation and Rescue Data
Comments

The pupal lethality of the Nrd1Q376X mutants can be rescued by combination with any of the following :Nrd1+t5, Nrd1+tCH322-77E05 or Dp(1;3)DC245 or by expression of Nrd1Scer\UAS.T:SV5\V5 (but not Nrd1Scer\UAS.T:Disc\RFP-mCherry) under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 in the mutant background.

Nrd1+t5 also rescues the age-dependent loss of synaptic transmission in photoreceptor cells in adult flies carrying Nrd1Q376X somatic clones in the retina.
