[Topics of brain malformation and epilepsy--age-dependent epileptic encephalopathies and interneuronopathies].

Abstract excerpt

The ARX gene is involved in the development of GABAergic interneurons in the forebrain. Loss-of-function mutations, such as nonsense or frameshifts mutation, of ARX cause a group of brain malformations, such as hydranencephaly, lissencephaly, and agenesis of the corpus callosum, while expansion mutations of the polyalanine tracts of ARX, supposed to be gain-of-function mutations, result in a non-malformation...
