Abstract excerpt
The gene for the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha4 subunit (CHRNA4) was identified as a gene underlying a rare idiopathic partial epilepsy syndrome in humans, autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE). In a recent study, one of four silent polymorphisms (594 C/T) in CHRNA4 showed association with the common subtypes of idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE). In the present study,...
