However, no reports of CAMRQ1 (OMIM #224050) have been previously made from Africa. In this study, we report the first African family with four affected siblings exhibiting typical CAMRQ1 clinical features with varying levels of phenotypic severity. Genetic analysis revealed a novel missense homozygous variant (c.1694C &gt; A; p.P565Q) in the\n                    <jats:italic>VLDLR<\/jats:italic>\n                    gene in all the affected individuals, with the parents being heterozygous. Biochemical analysis, including immunofluorescence and confocal laser microscopy, western blot, and endoglycosidase H sensitivity and resistance assay, demonstrated the retention of the p.(P565Q) VLDLR protein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), impairing its trafficking to the plasma membrane and thus confirming its pathogenic impact. This ER retention is expected to disrupt VLDLR\u2010mediated signaling pathways, including reelin signaling, thereby affecting neuronal migration. Furthermore, due to its ER retention, the p.(P565Q) is expected to induce ER stress and activate the endoplasmic reticulum\u2010associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Our findings expand the genetic and geographical spectrum of CAMRQ1 and provide further functional insights into its underlying pathogenesis.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/humu\/4661238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,27]],"date-time":"2026-04-27T11:58:38Z","timestamp":1777291118000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Identification of a Novel VLDLR Variant in the First Report of CAMRQ1 From Africa: Expanding the Spectrum of Cerebellar Ataxia Syndromes"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3530-0939","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aseel A.","family":"Jawabri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5753-2687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ainara","family":"Salazar-Villacorta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Henriette","family":"Senghor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rokhaya","family":"Ndiaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2748-0368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alia","family":"Al-Mehrzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amadou Gallo","family":"Diop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Moustapha","family":"Ndiaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1306-6618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bassam R.","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5416-8341","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro M.","family":"Rodriguez Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073812441065"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2350-13-80"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/444400"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_2","volume-title":"GeneReviews","author":"Boycott K.
