Susceptibility genes in human epilepsy.

Abstract excerpt

Major advances in the identification of genetic loci and genes that predispose individuals to epilepsy have been made in the last several years. Two main themes for human, idiopathic epilepsies are emerging; genetic, or locus heterogeneity is not uncommon, and the discovery that epilepsy susceptibility genes are voltage-gated and ligand-gated ion channels. Knowledge that more than a single genetic locus is...
