A case of tubulinopathy presenting with porencephaly caused by a novel missense mutation in the TUBA1A gene.
Brain and Development(2018)
Abstract
Microtubules composed of tubulins regulate not only neuronal migration but also cell division or axon guidance. Accordingly, tubulinopathy affects the cortical lamination, brain size, callosal formation, and white matter as seen in the present case. In contrast to the previously reported cases, the present case showed milder cortical dysgenesis with a rare manifestation of porencephaly. The genotype-phenotype correlation is still unclear, and this study expands the phenotypic range of tubulinopathy.
