PAFAH1B1 and Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome: Reverse transcription-PCR on RNA extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes revealed that the expression level of PAFAH1B1 decreased to that in a patient with Miller-Dieker syndrome, a contiguous gene-deletion disorder characterized by classical lissencephaly and a facial dysmorphism.<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study expanded the spectrum of PAFAH1B1 variants and identified a unique genomic architecture including microhomology sequences in PAFAH1B1 underlying an intragenic tandem duplication leading to ILS.
