Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the type, frequency, and size of microchromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) affecting the neuronal sodium channel α 1 subunit gene (SCN1A) in Dravet syndrome (DS), other epileptic encephalopathies, and generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). METHODS: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was applied to detect SCN1A CNVs among 289 cases (126...
