Dr. William Dobyns' Chicago Study
Schizencephaly Research Information
Molecular Genetic Studies of Brain Malformations
Polymicrogyria: the molecular basis of cortical organization
Human epilepsy genetics: neuronal migration disorders
ACC: the molecular basis of midline brain development
Introduction
malformation research project, or more accurately group of related brain
malformation research projects, at The University of Chicago directed by
Dr. William Dobyns with participation by many other investigators in several
countries. The project began as the Lissencephaly Research Project, but
has gradually expanded.
The goals are to (1) learn about and classify the different types of brain
malformations that occur in children and the disorders associated with each,
(2) find the genes responsible for these malformations,
(3) discover the changes of these genes that lead to the malformations,
and (4) study how the gene and protein work
in normal and abnormal brain development.
