Novel LAMC3 pathogenic variant enriched in Finnish population causes malformations of cortical development and severe epilepsy.

Only a few patients with epilepsy caused by LAMC3 homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations have been described in the literature. To our knowledge, the variants discovered in our patients have not previously been published. Clinical phenotype appears to be more varied than previously assumed and patients with a milder phenotype and normal cognition have probably remained unrecognized.
