Abstract excerpt
Disruptions to LIS1 gene expression result in neuronal migration abnormalities. LIS1 heterozygosity is a significant cause of lissencephaly, while overexpression has recently been noted in cases of microcephaly, ventriculomegaly, and dysgenesis of the corpus callosum with normal cortical gyration. We report a partial LIS1 duplication in a child with microcephaly, neurodevelopmental delays, and profound white...
