MEDNIK syndrome (mental retardation, enteropathy, deafness, peripheral neuropathy, ichthyosis, keratodermia) is a rare autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disease. MEDNIK syndrome is caused by AP1S1 gene mutations, encoding the subunit of the AP-1 complex, which plays a crucial role in clathrin coat assembly and mediates trafficking between trans-Golgi network, endosomes and the plasma membrane.
