Abstract excerpt
The 1354C>T polymorphism of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A gene (5-HTR2A) was implicated in human memory performance. We investigated the relationship between this polymorphism and cognitive function in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). We also evaluated if this polymorphism could influence the phenotype. There were 138 patients with TLE: 25% (34/138) of them found to be cognitively impaired, while...
