Excerpt

Several genetic causes have been identified in lissencephaly, including mutations in LIS1, DCX, ARX, RELN, VLDLR, WDR62, and TUBA1A genes. One may sometimes suggest the most likely gene mutation upon MRI findings when some specific features are seen, although image findings overlap among the causative gene mutations. …
