Abnormal cell sorting underlies the unique X-linked inheritance of <i>PCDH19</i> Epilepsy
2017-08-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> X-linked diseases typically exhibit more severe phenotypes in males than females. In contrast, Protocadherin 19 ( PCDH19 ) mutations cause epilepsy in heterozygous females but spare hemizygous males. The cellular mechanism responsible for this unique pattern of X-linked inheritance is unknown. We show that PCDH19 contributes to highly specific combinatorial adhesion codes such that mosaic expre...
