Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is considered to be a genetic disease, but the genes responsible for it have not yet been identified. To investigate whether or not the GABBR1 gene is a susceptibility gene for CAE in the Chinese Han population, we systematically screened all the 22 exons and nearby intron regions of the gene and found 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Using four SNPs as markers, we...
