Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting PAFAH1B1 (LIS1) in human patients. Primary outcome: presence of type 1 lissencephaly
Investigation of human patients with mutations in the PAFAH1B1 gene (LIS1) that cause type 1 lissencephaly. The study examined how LIS1 protein, which interacts with microtubules and is critical for nucleokinesis (nuclear translocation during neuronal migration), when mutated leads to severe brain malformation characterized by smooth brain surface due to defective neuronal migration. This provides insight into the microtubule-dependent mechanisms of neuronal migration.
