Green List (high evidence)

Well established gene -disease association. DCX mutations cause classic lissencephaly with intellectual disability in hemizygous males and a milder phenotype known as subcortical band heterotopia in females, sometimes in the same family. The subcortical lamina heterotopia found in heterozygous females is also referred to as 'double cortex' (DC) syndrome. Multiple affected families reported. Condition is serve in males and onset is congenital. Animal model present.
