To the best of our knowledge, only eight EML1 mutations, including compound heterozygous mutations (NP_004425.2: p.Arg138* and p.Thr243Ala; NP_004425.2: p.Gly439Asp and p.Gly478Val), homozygous mutations (NP_004425.2: p.Trp225Arg; NP_004425.2: p.Val254Met; NM_001008707: exon 1 deletion arr[hg19] 14q32.2(100,256,118-100,271,376)x0matpat), and nonsense mutation (NP_004425.2: p.Arg523*) were described in six unrelated families with band heterotopia [11, 27–29]. The gene discussed is EML1; the disease is subcortical band heterotopia.
