Overlapping expression of ARFGEF2 and Filamin A in the neuroependymal lining of the lateral ventricles: Insights into the cause of periventricular heterotopia
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Periventricular heterotopia (PH) is a malformation of cortical development characterized by nodules of neurons, ectopically located along the lateral ventricles of the brain. Mutations in the vesicle transport ADP-ribosylation factor guanine exchange factor 2 gene (ARFGEF2) or the actin-binding Filamin A (FLNA) gene cause PH. Previous studies have shown that FLNA expression is developmentally regulated, with...
