Neuropathologic Research Strategies in Holoprosencephaly

Abstract excerpt

Hypotheses are presented to explain the pathogenesis of several clinical features of holoprosencephaly, and neuropathologic approaches to testing these hypotheses are suggested. The traditional morphologic classification of holoprosencephaly into alobar, semilobar, and lobar forms is grades of severity, and each occurs in all of the genetic mutations known. Of the four defective genes identified as primary in...
