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
Eight novel mutations were identified in the gene encoding L1CAM, a neural cell adhesion protein, in patients/families with Xlinked hydrocephalus (XHC) providing additional evidence for extreme allelic heterogeneity of the trait. The two nonsense mutations (Gln440Ter and Gln1042Ter) result most like
