Abstract excerpt
Partial epilepsy with auditory features occasionally segregates in families as an autosomal dominant trait. In some families mutations in the leucine-rich glioma inactivated (LGI1) gene have been identified. Sporadic cases might harbour either denovo or low-penetrant LGI1 mutations, which will substantially alter the family risk for epilepsy. We selected sixteen sporadic patients with cryptogenic temporal lobe...
