Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Lissencephaly (TUBA1A mutation): congenital cortical development anomaly due to abnormal neuronal migration involving neocortical + hippocampal lamination, corpus callosum, cerebellum, brainstem. A large clinical spectrum from severe epilepsy, intellectual + motor deficit to severe cerebral dysgenesis antenatally (pregnancy termination due to infaust prognosis)
