Novel role of the synaptic scaffold protein Dlgap4 in ventricular surface integrity and neuronal migration during cortical development

The Dlgap protein family members are known for their role in synapses. Here the authors reveal important involvement in earlier steps of brain development, identifying DLGAP4 mutations in patients with cortical malformations, and also demonstrating a role in progenitors and migrating neurons.
