High impact information on LGI2

  • Genetic and expression analyses of all five zebrafish lgi genes revealed duplications of lgi1 and lgi2, each resulting in two paralogous gene copies with mostly nonoverlapping expression patterns [1].
  • In silico mapping and radiation hybrid experiments assigned LGI2, LGI3, and LGI4 to different chromosomal regions (4p15.2, 8p21.3, 19q13.11), some of which have been implicated in epileptogenesis and/or tumorigenesis [2].
  • No mutations in LGI2, LGI3, or LGI4 were found in the other two ADPEAF families [3].
