Somatic variants in epilepsy - advancing gene discovery and disease mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

In the past ten years, there has been increasing recognition that cells can acquire genetic variants during cortical development that can give rise to brain malformations as well as nonlesional focal epilepsy. These often brain tissue-specific, de novo variants can result in highly variable phenotypes based on the burden of a variant in specific tissues and cells. By discovering these variants, shared...
