Abstract

LIS1 is one of the genes that has a principle role in brain development since hemizygote mutations in LIS1 result in a severe brain malformation known as lissencephaly (‘smooth brain’). LIS1 is a WD repeat protein and is known to be involved in several protein complexes that are likely to play a functional role in brain development. We discuss here the brain developmental phenotype observed in mice heterozygote for an N-terminal truncated LIS1 protein in view of known LIS1 protein interactions.
