Abstract excerpt
Human brain malformations, such as Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) or isolated lissencephaly sequence (ILS) may result from abnormal neuronal migration during brain development. MDS and ILS patients have a hemizygous deletion or mutation in the LIS1 gene (PAFAH1B1), therefore, the LIS1 encoded protein (Lis1) may play a role in neuronal migration. Lis1 is a subunit of a brain platelet-activating factor...
