Description
This panel was developed by the Australian Genomics Brain Malformations flagship, and is maintained by VCGS. It is a consensus panel used by RMH.

It contains genes associated with deficient neuronal migration and abnormal formation of cerebral convolutions or gyri, either occurring in isolation or as part of a more complex disorder. The spectrum of lissencephaly ranges from absent (agyria) or decreased (pachygyria) convolutions of the cortex to less severe malformation known as subcortical band heterotopia.

Please also consider the Cobblestone Malformations panel and the broader Malformations of cortical development superpanel if features are not entirely typical.
