Exome sequencing findings in 27 patients with myoclonic‐atonic epilepsy: Is there a major genetic factor?

Abstract excerpt

Myoclonic-atonic epilepsy (MAE) is thought to have a genetic etiology. Mutations in CHD2, SLC2A1 and SLC6A1 genes have been reported in few patients showing often intellectual disability prior to MAE onset. We aimed to explore putative causal genetic factors in MAE. We performed array-CGH and whole-exome sequencing in 27 patients. We considered non-synonymous variants, splice acceptor, donor site mutations, and...
