Refining the electroclinical phenotype of 15q11.2 microdeletion: EEG biomarker overlap with Angelman syndrome

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The 15q11.2 microdeletion is a chromosomal condition associated with a broad epileptic phenotype. It is differentiated from Angelman syndrome, which is typically a larger maternal deletion in an overlapping area. We describe a patient with a 15q11.2 microdeletion that has clinical and EEG biomarker features similar to those seen in Angelman ...
