Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect potential mutation of Doublecortin (DCX) gene in a patient featuring X-linked subcortical laminar heterotopia (X-SCLH) and epilepsy. METHODS: Mutation of the DCX gene was screened by PCR and direct sequencing. Pathogenicity of the mutation was analyzed with a PolyPhen-2 software. RESULTS: A de novo missense mutation c.971T>C (p.Phe324Ser) was discovered. CONCLUSION: A diagnostic method for...
