Abstract

X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia (XLAG) is a distinct form of lissencephaly associated with absent corpus callosum. Recently, forms of syndromic and nonspecific X-linked mental retardation have been found to be associated with mutations in the Aristaless-related homeobox gene ARX. The authors assessed ARX as a candidate gene for XLAG in a genetic analysis of neuronal migration disorders and found two different point mutations in two XLAG pedigrees affecting the homeodomain of the protein, confirming that ARX is a causative gene for XLAG.
