Abstract excerpt
Mutations in LGI1 have been linked to autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features (ADPEAF), an unusual inherited human partial epilepsy phenotype. In addition, decreases in LGI1 expression are observed in glioblastoma patient samples and glioblastoma cell lines. LGI1, one member of the LGI gene family, encodes a approximately 63 kDa protein, with strong regional expression in neurons within the...
