Abstract excerpt

L1CAM is a neural cell adhesion molecule expressed mainly on neurones' cell surface and plays an important role in the developing fetal brain. Recently, we have shown that mutations in the gene encoding L1CAM are responsible for three related neurological disorders including the most common form...
