Two novel CLCN2 mutations accelerating chloride channel deactivation are associated with idiopathic generalized epilepsy

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygous mutations in the CLCN2 gene encoding the voltage-gated chloride channel CLC2 have been identified in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Yet the involvement of CLCN2 in epilepsy remains controversial. To investigate the involvement of CLCN2 in another independent sample, we screened 52 unrelated patients from IGE families and 23 patients with Doose syndrome for mutations in CLCN2. No...
