Primary microcephaly: do all roads lead to Rome?

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Nov 2009

Thornton Gemma K, Woods C Geoffrey

Abstract excerpt

The relatively large brain and expanded cerebral cortex of humans is unusual in the animal kingdom and is thought to have promoted our adaptability and success as a species. One approach for investigating neurogenesis is the study of autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), in which prenatal brain growth is significantly reduced without an effect on brain structure. To date, eight MCPH loci and five genes...
