Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+): clinical spectrum in seven Italian families unrelated to SCN1A, SCN1B, and GABRG2 gene mutations.

Abstract excerpt

METHODS: We performed a clinical study of seven families (167 individuals). The molecular study included analysis of polymerase chain reaction...
