Table 2 Potentially causative pathogenic variants derived from screening of 144 Saudi epilepsy subjects. Chromosomal position is outlined for the 32 putative pathogenic variants in 30 gene regions along with annotation of the putative pathogenic variant mapped to human reference genome build 37 (GRCh37). Minor allele frequencies (MAF) are shown for the: Saudi epilepsy cohort; Genome Aggregation Database (GnomAD); and Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD). ClinVar annotation for likely clinical significance is also listed
