X linked lissencephaly and subcortical band heterotopia (XLIS/SBH) is a disorder of cortical development, which causes classical lissencephaly with severe mental retardation and epilepsy in hemizygous males and SBH associated with milder mental retardation and epilepsy in heterozygous females.
Mutations in the X-linked gene doublecortin, which encodes a protein with no dear structural homologues, are found in pedigrees in which affected females show "double cortex" syndrome (DC; also known as subcortical band heterotopia or laminar heterotopia) and affected males show X-linked lissencephaly.
Mutations in the genes that encode filamin-1, Lis1 and doublecortin are responsible for X-linked lissencephaly in man, whereas mutations in the genes that encode Cdk5, its activator p35 and the reelin-signaling pathway disturb migration and architectonic development in mice.

Loss of the Max-interacting protein Mnt in mice results in decreased viability, defective embryonic growth and craniofacial defects: relevance to Miller-Dieker syndrome.
Mutations in the Aristaless-related homeobox (ARX) gene are associated with a broad spectrum of disorders including X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia (XLAG) and absent corpus callosum.
We recently identified mutations of ARX in nine genotypic males with X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia (XLAG), and in several female relatives with isolated agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC).
The neuronal migration disorders, X-linked lissencephaly syndrome (XLIS) and subcortical band heterotopia (SBH), also called "double cortex", have been linked to missense, nonsense, aberrant splicing, deletion, and insertion mutations in doublecortin (DCX) in families and sporadic cases.
