Exploring new gene discoveries in idiopathic generalized epilepsy.

Abstract excerpt

Most epilepsies are categorized under the umbrella term "idiopathic;" these seizure disorders lack a known cause. New genetic technologies are rapidly identifying specific genes responsible for idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) and are gradually taking the "I" out of "IGE." Ion channel (both voltage- and receptor-mediated) mutations have been linked to a variety of epilepsies considered idiopathic. Gene...
