Investigation of the 15q13.3 CNV as a genetic modifier for familial epilepsies with variable phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Incomplete penetrance and variable phenotypic expression are characteristic of a number of syndromes of familial epilepsy. The purpose of the present investigation is to determine if the 15q13.3 copy number deletion functions as a locus modifying the epilepsy phenotype caused by other known or presumed pathogenic mutations segregating in families with epilepsies. No 15q13.3 microdeletions were detected in 756...
