Abstract excerpt
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a common forebrain malformation associated with mental retardation and craniofacial anomalies. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that loss of ventral neurons is associated with HPE. The condition is etiologically heterogeneous, and abnormalities in any of several genes can cause human HPE. Among these genes, mutations in SONIC HEDGEHOG ( SHH) are the most commonly identified single...
