Length variation of a polyglutamine array in the gene encoding a small-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel (hKCa3) and susceptibility to idiopathic generalized epilepsy.

Abstract excerpt

The present association study tested whether length variations of two adjacent polymorphic CAG repeats in the coding sequence of a small-conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel (hKCa3) confer susceptibility to common subtypes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). We found no significant difference in the allelic length distribution of the CAG repeats between 290 healthy German controls and the entire...
