Can Duplication Of Chormosome 17q12 Lead To Epilepsie?
I read here that duplication of chormosome 17q12 can lead to epilepsie? My daughter has a duplication fo chromosome 17q12, she has severe autisme, mental retardation and she doesn't talk.
Here in Belgium they told us that the epilepsie was linked to the deletion of chromosome 17 q12

Hi dear.Chromosomal imbalance of the 17q12 region has recently emerged as a frequent condition. 17q12 duplication was identified in a subset of patients with autism, mental retardation, epilepsy and/or schizophrenia.Hope this answers your query.
