Occipital cortical malformation

Definition

Occipital cortical malformation (OCCM) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in LAMC3. OCCM is characterized by thickening and smoothening of the occipital cortex along with polymicrogyria. LAMC3 gene encodes the gamma 3 chain of the laminin family proteins, which play a crucial part in cell differentiation, migration, and adhesion.
