Layer-specific genes reveal a rudimentary laminar pattern in human nodular heterotopia
18 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To define distinctive features of nodular heterotopia in specimens derived from drug-resistant patients with epilepsy by evaluating mRNA expression of three different layer-specific markers: Rorbeta, Er81, and Nurr1. METHODS: We analyzed the expression profile of these genes, recognized as markers mainly expressed in layer IV for Rorbeta, in layer V for Er81, and in layer VI for Nurr1, in surgical...
