Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in human genetics and in the neurobiology of neurotransmitter receptors and channels have led to the discovery of specific genes associated with hereditary epileptic phenotypes. All the genes identified to date code for ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels. Some clinically rare idiopathic epilepsies are associated with mutations in genes coding for different neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine...
