Abstract excerpt
The first mutations of the GABA(A) receptor channel linked to familial epilepsy in humans were reported recently (Baulac et al., 2001; Wallace et al., 2001). Preliminary functional analysis of alpha1beta2gamma2 GABA(A) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes suggested that the gamma2 subunit R43Q mutation abolished current enhancement by the benzodiazepine, diazepam, and that the gamma2 subunit K289M mutation...
