As was mentioned above, short UPS29 alleles in a homozygous state of occurrence are very rare among Caucasians, therefore it was not possible to conduct an adequate statistical analysis of the mRNA / protein level of ACAP3 expression in patients with epilepsy, in whom this allele is in a hypomethylated state in comparison with similar genotype, but in a methylated state, as well as in comparison with similar genotypes/epigenotypes in the control group in men and women. Here, ACAP3 is linked to epilepsy.
