Is LGI2 the candidate gene for partial epilepsy with pericentral spikes?

Abstract excerpt

Partial epilepsy with pericentral spikes (PEPS) is a familial epilepsy with disease locus mapped to human chromosome region 4p15; yet, the causative gene is unknown. In this work, arguments based on protein sequence analysis and patient-specific chromosomal deletions are provided for LGI2 as the prime candidate gene for PEPS among the 52 genes known at the genome locus 4p15. Furthermore, we suggest that two...
