We recently described mutations of the neuronal sodium-channel alpha-subunit gene, SCN1A, on chromosome 2q24 in two families with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) type 2. To assess the contribution that SCN1A makes to other types of epilepsy, 226 patients with either juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, absence epilepsy, or febrile convulsions were screened by conformation-sensitive gel...
