Description : Lissencephaly ('smooth brain') results from migrational arrest of cortical neurons
short of their normal destination, and can result in profound mental retardation and
seizures. In X-linked lissencephaly-1, affected males generally have more a severe
phenotype compared to females. DCX mutations cause classic lissencephaly with mental
retardation in hemizygous males and a milder phenotype known as subcortical band heterotopia
in females, sometimes in the same family. The subcortical lamina heterotopia found
in heterozygous females is also referred to as 'double cortex' (DC) syndrome (des
Portes et al., 1997). There are several X-linked loci that affect neuronal migration,
including the Aicardi locus (304050).;
Inheritance : X-linked;
