Dorsal visual stream and LIMK1: hemideletion, haplotype, and enduring effects in children with Williams syndrome

ConclusionsThis work offers insight into neurobiological and genetic mechanisms responsible for the WS phenotype and also more generally provides a striking example of the mechanisms by which genetic variation, acting by means of molecular effects on a neural intermediary, can influence human cognition and, in some cases, lead to neurocognitive disorders.
