Mutations in the gene for neural cell adhesion molecule L1 are responsible for the highly variable phenotype found in families with X-linked hydrocephalus, MASA syndrome, and spastic paraplegia type I. To date, 32 different mutations have been observed, the majority being unique to individual famili
L1 disease is a group of overlapping clinical phenotypes including X-linked hydrocephalus, MASA syndrome, spastic paraparesis type 1, and X-linked agenesis of corpus callosum. The patients are characterized by hydrocephalus, agenesis or hypoplasia of corpus callosum and corticospinal tracts, mental
Communicated by Mark H. Paalman L1 disease is a clinically heterogeneous X-chromosomal neurodevelopmental disorder that is frequently associated with mental retardation and congenital hydrocephalus in males. It is caused by mutations in L1CAM that encodes a multifunctional transmembrane neuronal cel
