Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1 gene (LGI1) were recently identified in some families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE). To investigate whether the LGI1 gene is a susceptibility gene for febrile seizures (FS), we performed a systematic search for mutations in 94 unrelated Japanese patients with FS. We detected two intronic polymorphisms (IVS2 + 19 A/G and IVS6 - 18...
