Abstract excerpt
AIM: We aimed to identify the effect of SNPs in the α-subunits of GABAA receptors on epilepsy treatment outcomes by using a gene-wide tagging method. MATERIALS & METHODS: There were 720 epileptic patients included in the present study. A total of 136 tagging SNPs in GABRA1, GABRA2, GABRA3, GABRA4, GABRA5 and GABRA6 were genotyped by Illumina(®)GoldenGate(®) Genotyping platform. Clinical information, such as...
