Abstract excerpt
Lissencephaly is a brain developmental disorder characterized by disorganization of the cortical regions resulting from defects in neuronal migration. Recent evidence has implicated the human LIS-1 gene in Miller-Dieker lissencephaly and isolated lissencephaly sequence. LIS-1 is homologous to the fungal genes NudF and PAC1, which are involved in cytoplasmic dynein mediated nuclear transport, but it is also almost...
