What are the etiological subtypes of DES?

Etiological subtypes of DES have been reported and include type 1 (CAMRQ1), 2 (CAMRQ2), 3 (CAMRQ3) and 4 (CAMRQ4) which are attributed to mutations in VLDLR (9p24), CA8 (8q12.1), WDR81 (17p13.3) and ATP8A2 (13q12) genes, respectively. VLDLR encodes the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) which is involved in neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. CA8 encodes a carbonic-anhydrase related protein, whose biological function is not yet fully understood. The function of WDR81 is still unknown. ATP8A2 encodes an ATPase which is mainly expressed in brain tissue, with the highest levels found in the cerebellum, and that may be critical for the developmental processes of the central nervous system.
