Febrile seizures are associated with mutation of seizure-related (SEZ) 6, a brain-specific gene.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic factors contribute significantly to the etiology of febrile seizures (FS), the most common type of seizures in childhood. However, in most patients with FS, the causative gene is unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between human brain-specific gene SEZ-6 and FS. Through amplification of genomic DNA by PCR and sequencing of the resulting products, we screened 75 subjects for...
