Abstract excerpt
Recently, mutations in the GABA(A)-receptor gamma2 subunit (GABRG2) gene were identified in two families with generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) and two families with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and febrile seizures (FS). We tested the hypothesis that genetic variations in the GABRG2 gene confer susceptibility to FS in the Japanese population. We performed a systematic search for...
