Microcephaly: STIL(l) a tale of too many centrosomes.

Abstract excerpt

Centrosome mutations associated with microcephaly are normally thought to result in loss-of-function phenotypes. A new study shows, however, that mutations found in the human microcephaly STIL gene cause centrosome amplification, suggesting a direct link between the presence of extra centrosomes and the establishment of this disease.
