Abstract Dup15q syndrome is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by copy number gains of 15q11.2-q13.1, which include UBE3A and three GABA-A receptor subunit genes among several other genes. The contribution of the different genes to etiology remains elusive. Excess EEG beta-band power is a characteristic electrophysiological phenotype of this syndrome and a candidate biomarker of increased GABA-A receptor activity. Here we investigate the link between clinical and EEG phenotypes.

What could have justified this practice?
