Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) gene, located at chromosome Xq28, which encodes for an integral membrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell adhesion; it is found primarily in the nervous system. Mutations at this locus have been identified in patients with L1 syndrome, which is associated with a wide range of neurologic abnormalities.
