To investigate the significance of variation in ADGRV1 (also known as GPR98, MASS1, and VLGR1), MEF2C, and other genes at the 5q14.3 chromosomal locus in myoclonic epilepsy.
Interaction of MEF2C with the deleted febrile seizure (FEB4) and juveline myoclonic epilepsy (EJM4) loci plus the G-protein receptor (GPR98/MASS1/Usher syndrome) gene may moderate the phenotype, perhaps through common regulation by calcium.
