Miller-Dieker Syndrome Deletion

Test Background

Miller-Dieker syndrome is caused by large deletions of 17p13.3 affecting the PAFAH1B1 gene (also known as LIS1). Deletion of LIS1 is responsible for the lissencephaly, but microdeletions often include the adjacent genes HIC1 and YWHAE. This laboratory performs deletion/duplication by MLPA for this region.
