In the present study, we aimed to characterize dysmorphic neurons (DNs) and giant cells (GCs) of cortical tubers using neocortical layer-specific markers (NeuN, SMI32, Tbr1, Satb2, Cux2, ER81, and RORβ) and to compare the features with the histo-morphologically similar focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type IIb. The gene discussed is RBFOX3; the disease is fleck corneal dystrophy.
