Molecular basis of Mendelian idiopathic epilepsies.

Abstract excerpt

A genetic aetiology is estimated to be present in about 40% of patients with epilepsy. Significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular genetic basis of Mendelian epilepsies. Fourteen genes have been identified which underlie a group of rare, autosomal dominant Mendelian idiopathic epilepsies. All but two of these genes encode subunits of ion-channels, revealing that idiopathic Mendelian human...
