Exome Sequencing Reveals De Novo Germline Mutation of the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (MTOR) in a Patient with Megalencephaly and Intractable Seizures

2013-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A de novo somatic mutation in the mammalian target of rapamycin (MTOR) has previously been described in one patient with hemimegalencephaly and epilepsy. Here, we present a case of a young girl with megalencephaly and intractable seizures who was found to have an MTOR mutation in multiple cell lineages (p.Cys1483Phe) and, therefore, presumed to be of germline origin. The mutation was detected in peripheral blood D...
