Abstract excerpt
Polymicrogyria is caused by a diverse etiology, one of which is gene mutation. At present, only one gene (GPR56) is known to cause polymicrogyria, which leads to a distinctive phenotype termed bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP). BFPP is an autosomal recessive inherited human brain malformation with abnormal cortical lamination. Here, we identified compound heterozygous GPR56 mutations in a patient...
