Beside, an aberrant expression pattern of BAX and Bcl-XL has been reported to participate in several other neurological disorders including epilepsy with focal cortical dysplasia and hippocampal sclerosis (McMasters et al., 2000; Chamberlain and Prayson, 2008; Toscano et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene BCL2L1 and epilepsy.
