Partial epilepsy with pericentral spikes (PEPS) is a familial epilepsy with disease locus mapped to human chromosome region 4p15; yet, the causative gene is unknown. In this work, arguments based on protein sequence analysis and patient-specific chromosomal deletions are provided for LGI2 as the prime candidate gene for PEPS among the 52 genes known at the genome locus 4p15. Furthermore, we suggest that two reports of patients that were not classified as PEPS but show very similar phenotypes and deletions in the PEPS disease locus, could in fact describe the same disease. To test this hypothesis, patients with diagnosed PEPS or the described similar phenotypes could be screened for mutations in LGI2 and other shortlisted candidate genes. The linkage between PEPS and its disease causing gene(s) would allow diagnosis of the disease based on genetic screening as well as hereditary studies. Furthermore, previous knowledge on molecular disease mechanisms of related LGI proteins, for example LGI1 and autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy, could be applied to deepen the understanding of the PEPS disease mechanism at the molecular level, which may facilitate therapeutic intervention in the future.

The original hypothesis put forth by Bob Michell in his seminal 1975 review held that inositol lipid breakdown was involved in the activation of plasma membrane calcium channels or ‘gates’. Subsequently, it was demonstrated that while the interposition of inositol lipid breakdown upstream of calcium signalling was correct, it was predominantly the release of Ca2+ that was activated, through the formation of Ins(1,4,5)P3. Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane involved a secondary mechanism signalled in an unknown manner by depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores. In recent years, however, additional non-store-operated mechanisms for Ca2+ entry have emerged. In many instances, these pathways involve homologues of the Drosophila trp (transient receptor potential) gene. In mammalian systems there are seven members of the TRP superfamily, designated TRPC1–TRPC7, which appear to be reasonably close structural and functional homologues of Drosophila TRP. Although these channels can sometimes function as store-operated channels, in the majority of instances they function as channels more directly linked to phospholipase C activity. Three members of this family, TRPC3, 6 and 7, are activated by the phosphoinositide breakdown product, diacylglycerol. Two others, TRPC4 and 5, are also activated as a consequence of phospholipase C activity, although the precise substrate or product molecules involved are still unclear. Thus the TRPCs represent a family of ion channels that are directly activated by inositol lipid breakdown, confirming Bob Michell's original prediction 30 years ago.
