MRI-based spectral analysis of fetal brain gyrification in typical development and in lissencephaly and polymicrogyria [PDF]
Cortical gyrification is a key marker of fetal brain development and is typically assessed qualitatively on ultrasound or MRI. While previous quantitative approaches have characterized gestational trajectories in typically developing (TD) fetuses, only a

Prenatal Diagnosis of Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly Type 2 Caused by Compound Heterozygous WDR62 Variants in a Family With Two Recurrent Cases. [PDF]
We report prenatal diagnosis of MCPH2 via trio‐WES, identifying novel compound heterozygous WDR62 variants. To our knowledge, prenatal MRI detection of lobar HPE and lissencephaly with the agyria–pachygyria complex has not been reported in fetuses with WDR62 variants. Consequently, these findings have advanced our understanding of prenatally detectable

Lissencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia in a goat [PDF]
A case of lissencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia was observed in a 30-day-old goat. The goat presented with sternal recumbence, absence of a menace response, intention tremors, ataxia, and nystagmus.

Gene-specific long-term course, neurodevelopmental outcome and quality of life in patients with LIS1/PAFAH1B1-, DCX-, DYNC1H1-, TUBA1A- and TUBG1-related lissencephaly [PDF]
Background Classic lissencephaly is a malformation of cortical development that includes agyria and pachygyria. The major clinical symptoms are developmental impairment, muscular hypotonia, and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Cobblestone lissencephaly (Type II), clinical, and neuroimaging: A case report and literature review
Cobblestone lissencephaly (C-LIS) (TYPE II) is a rare and severe neuronal migration disorder characterized by a smooth brain surface with overmigrated neurons and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri during fetal development, resulting in ...

Lissencephaly with subcortical band heterotopia in an East African child: A case report [PDF]
Lissencephaly is a rare neuronal migration defect that results in a smooth cerebral surface, mental retardation, and seizures. It is diagnosed primarily by correlating clinical manifestations with MRI findings. We present a case of a 3-year-old girl with

Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea. [PDF]
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...
