Microcephaly is divided into primary microcephaly, which is present at birth, and secondary microcephaly, which develops postnatally 4. [centogene.com]

Microcephaly can be primary, when present from birth, or secondary, developing during the first years of life. The latter may occur in patients with severe epileptic encephalopathies. [epilepsygenetics.net]

In this review, we will present an overview of MCPH1 from these multiple angles, and whilst its specific role in brain size regulation during development and evolution remain elusive, the pieces of the puzzle will be discussed with the aim of putting [hal.archives-ouvertes.fr]
