Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: GABA(A) receptors influence the susceptibility to seizures, and variations in the receptor genes can contribute to antiepileptic drug resistance also. METHODS: We investigated the possible associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in GABRA6 c. 1512 T>C, GABRB2 c. 1412 C>T, and GABRR2 c. IVS2C>G genes of GABA(A) receptors in epilepsy susceptibility and drug resistance in northern...
