Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is caused by mutations in the ROBO3 gene, critical for the crossing of long ascending medial lemniscal and descending corticospinal tracts in the medulla. Diffusion tensor imaging in a patient with HGGPS revealed the absence of major pontine crossing fiber tracts and no decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncles. Mutations in the ROBO3 gene lead to a...
