PAFAH1B1(LIS1) facilitates the function of the minus-end-directed microtubule motor dynein, and mutations in the heavy chain of cytoplasmic dynein (DYNC1H1) are associated with a neuronal migration disorder that may also show P > A gradient of lissencephaly in addition to extra-cortical malformations.3 The gene discussed is PAFAH1B1; the disease is lissencephaly spectrum disorders.
