Abstract excerpt
The human gene for the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is located on Xq28 between the ALD and MeCP2 loci. Mutations in the L1 gene are associated with four related neurological disorders, X-linked hydrocephalus, spastic paraplegia (SPG1), MASA syndrome, and X-linked corpus callosum agenesis. The clinical relevance of L1 has led us to sequence the L1 gene in human and to investigate its conservation in the...
