Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting Reelin, lipoprotein receptors, Dab1, integrin alpha 3 beta 1 in human patients. Primary outcome: presence of type 2 lissencephaly and poor cortical lamination
Investigation of human patients with defects in the Reelin signaling pathway, including mutations affecting Reelin itself, lipoprotein receptor family members, the intracellular adaptor Dab1, and possibly integrin alpha 3 beta 1. The study examined how defective Reelin signaling leads to poor cortical lamination and results in a distinct type 2 lissencephaly phenotype, different from type 1 lissencephaly. This research provided insights into the mechanisms of architectonic pattern formation during neuronal migration and the role of recognition-adhesion processes among target neurons.
