Disorders of Cerebral Development: A Phenotypic and Genetic Analysis
Who can join
All ages · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of agenesis or dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, polymicrogyria, or Dandy-Walker malformation * Should be confirmed by an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the brain Exclusion Criteria: * Fully formed but hypoplastic corpus callosum
About the study
Dr. Elliott Sherr and his collaborators at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are studying the genetic causes of disorders of cognition and epilepsy, in particular disorders of brain development that affect the corpus callosum, such as Aicardi syndrome, as well as two additional brain malformations, polymicrogyria and Dandy-Walker malformation. The goal of the investigators' research is to use a better understanding of the underlying genetic causes as a foundation to develop better treatments for these groups of patients.
