The FOXC1 gene acts as a regulator in the brain, helping all parts form properly. Its role with DWM was discovered when researchers found that the brain of a mouse lacking the gene had serious malformations. Researchers then applied their hypothesis to humans, searching for patients lacking the FOXC1 gene who suffered from DWM and found a considerable number of matches.
