Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of DEPDC5-Related Familial Focal Epilepsy: Case Series and Literature Review

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the disheveled, Egl-10 and domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5) recently have been identified as a common cause of focal epilepsy syndromes. The association between phenotype and genotype of DEPDC5 mutation has not been adequately characterized. We studied four families with familial focal epilepsy carrying DEPDC5 mutations. Four novel DEPDC5 mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing,...
