Mutations in the β-Tubulin Gene TUBB5 Cause Microcephaly with Structural Brain Abnormalities

Mutations in the β-Tubulin Gene TUBB5 Cause Microcephaly with Structural Brain Abnormalities

The formation of the mammalian cortex requires the generation, migration, and differentiation of neurons. The vital role that the microtubule cytoskeleton plays in these cellular processes is reflected by the discovery that mutations in various tubulin isotypes cause different neurodevelopmental di...
