Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the disease locus in a three-generation south Indian family having several of its members affected with idiopathic epilepsy. METHODS: Genome-wide parametric linkage analysis was performed with 382 autosomal markers. Mutational analysis of the positional candidate genes in linked interval was performed by direct sequencing of genomic DNA from the proband in the family. Expression analysis in...
