Association between D18S474 locus on chromosome 18q12 and idiopathic generalized epilepsy.

Abstract excerpt

Idiopathic generalized epilepsy is one of the most common forms of epilepsy. The aetiology of IGE is genetically determined, but the pattern of inheritance is still undefined. Recent studies in common IGE showed evidence for linkage on chromosome 18q12 at the D18S474 locus. The aim of our study was to compare the distribution of allelic variants of D18S474 locus in children affected by generalized tonic-clonic...
