PURPOSE: LGI4 is located in 19q13.11, where the locus of benign familial infantile convulsions (BFIC) has been mapped. LGI4 belongs to a family of proteins with the epilepsy-associated repeat (EAR) domain and is associated with various epilepsies. We investigated whether LGI4 is a candidate gene for BFIC. METHODS: Fifteen patients with BFIC were examined for mutations and/or polymorphisms of LGI4 by using a...
