<p>This study investigates the role of somatic mosaic mutations in human focal epilepsies, including focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE). It leverages genomic and single-cell transcriptomic data from surgically resected brain tissue to identify pathogenic variants and characterize their effects on specific cell types and molecular pathways. The study employs methods such as deep whole-exome and targeted sequencing, single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), and integrated genotype-transcriptome profiling (e.g., GO-TEN) to define the cellular architecture and functional consequences of mosaic mutations. Data generated under this project aim to elucidate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and support discovery of potential therapeutic targets.</p>
