Abstract excerpt
Childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) is considered to exhibit a complex non-Mendelian pattern of inheritance. So far, only few CAE susceptibility genes have been identified. In a previous study of our group, an association between the GABA(A) receptor beta3 subunit (GABRB3) gene and CAE was shown. To further investigate this association, we screened 45 CAE patients of the first study for mutations in the 10 exons,...
