Point Mutations and an Intragenic Deletion in LIS1, the Lissencephaly Causative Gene in Isolated Lissencephaly Sequence and Miller-Dieker Syndrome
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
Classical lissencephaly (smooth brain) or generalized agyria-pachygyria is a severe brain malformation which results from an arrest of neuronal migration at 9-13 weeks gestation. It has been observed in several malformation syndromes including Miller-Dieker syndrome (MDS) and isolated lissencephaly sequence (ILS). A gene containing beta-transducin like repeats, now known as LIS1, was previously mapped to the...
