Neuronal migration defect in a BRCA1 gene carrier: possible focal nullisomy?
CASE REPORT An adult male presented to the clinical genetics service for predictive testing. His past medical history was complex. He was the second of twins, born at term (36 weeks) following an uncomplicated pregnancy, and weighed 2300 g. His early development did not cause any concern, but when he achieved independent walking at 18 months, this was slow and awkward. He was noted to have a mi...
متن کاملBRCA1 mutation and neuronal migration defect: implications for chemoprevention.
Previously we described a BRCA1 carrier with a neuronal migration defect and postulated that the brain abnormality was caused by functional nullisomy for BRCA1. We now describe another family in which a similar type of neuronal migration defect has occurred in one of female identical twins with a BRCA1 gene mutation (MIM 113705). One twin developed unusually early onset multiple primary breast ...

conservatively in neonatal intensive care unit. Abdominal distension decreased gradually. He passed stools on day 5 of admission. Repeat X-ray abdomen showed no air fluid levels. He was started on feeds gradually and discharged on day 18 of life. His serial USG abdomen showed gradual decrease in right adrenal hematoma with complete resolution by six weeks of age with no calcifications and norma...
متن کاملNeuronal migration abnormalities and its possible implications for schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complex mental disorder that displays behavioral deficits such as decreased sensory gating, reduced social interaction and working memory deficits. The neurodevelopmental model is one of the widely accepted hypotheses of the etiology of schizophrenia. Subtle developmental abnormalities of the brain which stated long before the onset of clinical symptoms are thought to lead to...
متن کاملNucleokinesis in Neuronal Migration
Neuronal migration is a critical phase of nervous system development and can be divided into two distinct phases: extension of the leading process and movement of the cell body and nucleus (nucleokinesis). Nucleokinesis appears to require many of the same cytoskeletal and signaling molecules used in cell mitosis. Converging studies suggest it requires cytoplasmic dynein, cell polarity genes, an...
