Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Focal cortical dysplasia type 2 (FCD2) is a malformation of cortical development that constitutes a common cause of pediatric focal epilepsy. Germline or somatic variants in the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway genes are the pathogenesis of FCD2. OBJECTIVE: In this study, whole-exome deep sequencing was performed on dysplastic cortex from focal epilepsy in children to explore...
