Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To understand the molecular basis and differential penetrance of febrile seizures and absence seizures in patients with the γ2(R43Q) GABA receptor mutation. METHODS: Spike-and-wave discharges and thermal seizure susceptibility were measured in heterozygous GABA γ2 knock-out and GABA γ2(R43Q) knock-in mice models crossed to different mouse strains. RESULTS: By comparing the GABA γ2 knock-out with the...
