Abstract excerpt

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a genetically determined common subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Significant evidence for linkage has been reported for a susceptibility locus for JME in the chromosomal region 15q14 that harbors the gene encoding the alpha7 subunit of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRNA7). The present study was designed to test the earlier linkage finding and...
