Abstract excerpt
Doublecortin, encoded by the DCX gene, plays a crucial role in the neuronal migration process during brain development. Pathogenic variants of the DCX gene are the major causes of the "lissencephaly (LIS) spectrum", which comprehends a milder phenotype like Subcortical Band Heterotopia (SBH) in heterozygous female subjects. We performed targeted sequencing in three unrelated female cases with SBH. We identified...
