Abstract excerpt
The Phospholipid Phosphatase Related 4 gene (PLPPR4, *607813) encodes the Plasticity-Related-Gene-1 (PRG-1) protein. This cerebral synaptic transmembrane-protein modulates cortical excitatory transmission on glutamatergic neurons. In mice, homozygous Prg-1 deficiency causes juvenile epilepsy. Its epileptogenic potential in humans was unknown. Thus, we screened 18 patients with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome...
