Genetic Evaluation and Application of Posterior Cranial Fossa Traits as Endophenotypes for Chiari Type I Malformation
6 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Chiari Type I Malformation (CMI) is characterized by herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the base of the skull. Although cerebellar tonsillar herniation (CTH) is hypothesized to result from an underdeveloped posterior cranial fossa (PF), patients are frequently diagnosed by the extent of CTH without cranial morphometric assessment. We recently completed the largest CMI whole genome qualitative linkage...
