Abstract excerpt
Dynein heavy chain (DYNC1H1) mutations can either lead to severe cerebral cortical malformations, or alternatively may be associated with the development of spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity predominance (SMA-LED). To assess the origin of such differences, we studied a new Dync1h1 knock-in mouse carrying the cortical malformation p.Lys3334Asn mutation. Comparing with an existing neurodegenerative...
