Abstract
No cryptic imbalances were found in LGI1, suggesting that LGI1 microdeletions are not a frequent cause of PEAF. Despite the small number of examined patients and the need for replication studies, these findings support the hypothesis that diagnostic screening for LGI1 microrearrangements lacks clinical utility, especially for sporadic cases, and further highlight genetic heterogeneity of familial and sporadic PEAF.
