A somatic mutation in MEN1 gene detected in periventricular nodular heterotopia tissue obtained from depth electrodes

Abstract excerpt

Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is a common structural malformation of cortical development. Mutations in the filamin A gene are frequent in familial cases with X-linked PNH. However, many cases with sporadic PNH remain genetically unexplained. Although medically refractory epilepsy often brings attention to the underlying PNH, patients are often not candidates for surgical resection. This limits access...
