Deletions involving both <i>KCNQ2</i> and <i>CHRNA4</i> present with benign familial neonatal seizures
12 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Mutations of the genes encoding subunits of potassium voltage-gated channel, KCNQ2 and KCNQ3, have been identified in patients with benign familial neonatal seizures (BFNS). This study set out to determine the frequency of microchromosomal deletions of KCNQ2 or KCNQ3 associated with BFNS. METHODS: The study subjects were patients with BFNS (n = 22). Microdeletions were sought by multiplex...
