Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Form of lissencephaly, heterogeneous group of cortical malformations without severe congenital microcephaly, cerebellar underdevelopment from vermian hypoplasia to total aplasia with classical or cobblestone lissencephaly; phenotypic features: small head circumference (birth, postnatally), moderate to severe intellectual disability, hypotonia, spasticity. Seizures often, infantile spasms in rare cases. 6 subgroups according to neuroradiographic properties
