" /> Lissencephaly, X-linked, 1 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Lissencephaly, X-linked, 1;

Symbol : LISX1;

CISMeF acronym : LISX1; SBH; SCLH; XLIS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Lissencephaly and agenesis of corpus callosum; XLIS;

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;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the doublecortin gene (DCX, 300121.0001);

Prefixed ID : #300067;
