Periventricular Heterotopia: An X-Linked Dominant Epilepsy Locus Causing Aberrant Cerebral Cortical Development
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Periventricular heterotopia (PH) involves dramatic malformations of the human cerebral cortex. Here we show that PH is closely linked to markers in distal Xq28 (maximal two-point lod score = 4.77 for F8C at theta = 0; maximal multipoint lod score = 5.37), so that affected females are obligatory mosaics for the mutation; that PH is lethal to at least some affected males; that PH malformations consist of...
