Abstract excerpt
Mutations of leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) gene are found in about half of the families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE). More recently a LGI1 heterozygous microdeletion was found in a single ADLTE family, suggesting that submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities should be investigated in cases negative for LGI1 mutations. This study examines whether microdeletions and...
