NOMO1 and epilepsy: NOMO1 is located at 16p13.11, multiple genetic analyses of large samples have shown that chromosomal segment 16p13.11 is strongly associated with neuropsychiatric disorders (Ramalingam et al, 2011; Ullmann et al, 2007; de Kovel et al, 2010), suggesting a potential role for NOMO1 in neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly autism and epilepsy.
