Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in LGI1 cause autosomal-dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features.
Sergey Kalachikov,Oleg V. Evgrafov,Barbara Ross,Melodie R. Winawer,Christie Barker-Cummings,Filippo Martinelli Boneschi,Chang Choi,Pavel Morozov,Kamna Das,Elita Teplitskaya,Andrew Yu,Eftihia Cayanis,Penchaszadeh Gk,Andreas H. Kottmann,Timothy A. Pedley,W. Allen Hauser,Ruth Ottman,T. Conrad Gilliam +17 more
TL;DR: Discovery of LGI1 as a cause of ADPEAF suggests new avenues for research on pathogenic mechanisms of idiopathic epilepsies and shows that the expression pattern of mouse Lgi1 is predominantly neuronal and is consistent with the anatomic regions involved in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of a gene for partial epilepsy to chromosome 10q
Ruth Ottman,Ruth Ottman,Neil Risch,W. Allen Hauser,Timothy A. Pedley,Joseph H. Lee,Christie Barker-Cummings,Anita Lustenberger,Keith J. Nagle,Kyusang S. Lee,Mark L. Scheuer,Michael Neystat,Mervyn Susser,Kirk C. Wilhelmsen +13 more
TL;DR: Strong evidence is obtained for localization of a gene for partial epilepsy to chromosome 10q, with a maximum two–point lod score for D10S192 of 3.99 at θ=0.0.
Journal ArticleDOI
LGI1 mutations in autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features
Ruth Ottman,Melodie R. Winawer,Sergey Kalachikov,Christie Barker-Cummings,T. C. Gilliam,Timothy A. Pedley,W. A. Hauser +6 more
TL;DR: Current data do not reveal a clinical feature that clearly predicts which families with autosomal dominant partial epilepsy with auditory features have a mutation, and the authors identify clinical features that distinguish families with and without mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Familial risk of epilepsy: a population-based study
Anna L. Peljto,Christie Barker-Cummings,Vincent M. Vasoli,Cynthia L. Leibson,W. Allen Hauser,Jeffrey Buchhalter,Ruth Ottman +6 more
TL;DR: Risks for epilepsies of unknown and prenatal/developmental cause may be influenced by shared genetic mechanisms and the similar increase in risk for focal epilepsy among relatives of probands with either generalized or focal epilepsy may reflect some coexisting shared genetic influences.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective, Ultrasound-Based Study to Evaluate Risk Factors for Uterine Fibroid Incidence and Growth: Methods and Results of Recruitment
Donna D. Baird,Quaker E. Harmon,Kristen Upson,Kristen R. Moore,Christie Barker-Cummings,Susan Baker,Tracy Cooper,Ganesa Wegienka +7 more
TL;DR: Study design aspects likely to be important for long-term studies in young African Americans include personalized recruitment, multiple steps to the enrollment process that rely on the initiative of the participant, and methods for tracing highly mobile study subjects.
