Identifying these mechanisms has shed light on typical human neuronal migration disorders such as periventricular heterotopias (disorder of migration initiation linked to filamin), type I lissencephaly (cytoskeletal abnormality linked to Lis1, a microtubule-associated protein), double cortex syndrome (cytoskeletal abnormality linked to doublecortin, a microtubule-associated protein), or lissencephaly plus cerebellar hypoplasia (reelin defect).
