Abstract excerpt
Mutations in one allele of the human LIS1 gene cause a severe brain malformation, lissencephaly. Although most LIS1 mutations involve deletions, several point mutations with a single amino acid alteration were described. Patients carrying these mutations reveal variable phenotypic manifestations. We have analyzed the functional importance of these point mutations by examining protein stability, folding,...
