Abstract excerpt
The L1CAM gene, which is located in Xq28 and codes for a neuronal cell adhesion molecule, is involved in three distinct conditions: HSAS (hydrocephalus-stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius), MASA (mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, adductus thumbs), and SPG1 (spastic paraplegia).
