In addition, it has been reported that gene mutations in the GIPC protein family may be associated with the development of myoclonus, primary tremor, and juvenile epilepsy,14 and previous studies have indicated that many scaffolding proteins15, 16, 17 are involved in epilepsy; hence, we speculate that GIPC1 also participates in epilepsy. The gene discussed is GIPC1; the disease is epilepsy.
