Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Owing to the number of genetic mutations that contribute to malformations of cortical development, identification of causative mutations in candidate genes is challenging. To overcome these challenges, we performed whole-exome sequencing in this study. CASE PRESENTATION: A Japanese patient presented with microcephaly and severe developmental delay. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence...
