The results of our analysis identified a promising epilepsy candidate gene for follow-up sequencing: malic enzyme 2 (ME2; minPOPFAM+p < 0.0084, minPDTp < 0.2851, minwQLSp < 0.0024; Durner et al., 2001; Greenberg et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2007; Lucarelli et al., 2007). This evidence concerns the gene ME2 and epilepsy.
