Abstract excerpt
X-linked hydrocephalus (XLH) is a genetic disorder leading to a syndrome characterized by mental retardation, bilateral adducted thumbs, and spasticity of upper and lower limbs. In most cases, X-linked mutation leads to a defective activity of the neuronal cell adhesion molecule L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule, OMIM 308840). Depending on mutations of L1CAM, four X-linked neurological syndromes have been...
