Abstract excerpt
There is evidence of linkage between the 15q13-q14 locus, containing the gene encoding the α7 subunit (CHRNA7) of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and its partially duplicated isoform (CHRFAM7A), and epilepsy. Additionally, a 2-bp deletion polymorphism (c.497-498delTG; rs67158670) in CHRFAM7A, resulting in a frame shift and truncation of the protein product, is associated with some...
