Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Analyses of few gene-sets in epilepsy showed a potential to unravel key disease associations. We set out to investigate the burden of ultra-rare variants (URVs) in a comprehensive range of biologically informed gene-sets presumed to be implicated in epileptogenesis. METHODS: The burden of 12 URV types in 92 gene-sets was compared between cases and controls using whole exome sequencing data from...
