1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
One by one, mutation-containing mendelian genes that cause monogenic juvenile myoclonic epilepsies (JME) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)-susceptibility alleles that increase risks for nonmendelian complex JME should fall to the power of molecular genetics. Of 15 chromosome loci, 3 mendelian genes (alpha1-subunit of the GABA(A) receptor [GABRA1], chloride channel 2 gene [CLCN2], and Myoclonin1/EFHC1) and...
