Background:  RAI1 (retinoid-acid induced protein 1) may be involved in neuronal differentiation. RAI1 is highly similar to its mouse counterpart and is expressed at high levels mainly in neuronal tissues. RAI1 has a polymorphic polyglutamine tract in it's N-terminal domain. Expression of the mouse counterpart in neurons is induced by retinoic acid. The RAI1 gene is associated with both the severity of the phenotype and the response to medication in schizophrenic patients. Defects in RAI1 are a cause of Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS). There are four named isoforms.
