Mosaic mutations of the <i>LIS1</i> gene cause subcortical band heterotopia
28 Oct 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Subcortical band heterotopia (SBH) is a neuronal migration disorder. DCX mutations are responsible for almost all familial cases, 80% of sporadic female cases, and 25% of sporadic male cases of SBH, and are associated with more severe gyral and migration abnormality over the anterior brain regions. Somatic mosaicism has previously been hypothesized in a patient with posteriorly predominant SBH and a...
