On the other hand, the relationship between epilepsy and variations in the contactin-6 gene (CNTN6) remains scarce, but a deletion of exons 21 and 22 has been highly associated with the presence of schizophrenia and seizures (which is the hallmark symptom of epilepsy) (Juan-Perez et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene CNTN6 and schizophrenia.
