Epileptic encephalopathies of the Landau‐Kleffner and continuous spike and waves during slow‐wave sleep types: Genomic dissection makes the link with autism

Abstract

Overall our data bring the first insights into the possible molecular pathophysiology of CSWSS and LKS. The overrepresentation of cell adhesion genes and the strong overlap with the genetic, genomic and molecular ASD networks, provide an exciting and unifying view on the clinical links among CSWSS, LKS, and ASD.
