Inversion of chromosome 2 (p11p13): frequency and implications for genetic counselling.

abstract：:Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are genetically heterogenous conditions, often characterized by early onset, EEG interictal epileptiform abnormalities, polymorphous and drug-resistant seizures, and neurodevelopmental impairments. In this study, we investigated the genetic defects in two siblings wh...
