Disruption of LGI1–linked synaptic complex causes abnormal synaptic transmission and epilepsy
2 Feb 2010

Epilepsy is a devastating and poorly understood disease. Mutations in a secreted neuronal protein, leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1), were reported in patients with an inherited form of human epilepsy, autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features (ADPEAF).
