Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the association between two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), rs2295080 and rs2536, in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) gene and the susceptibility to pediatric epilepsy. METHODS: A case- control study was performed on 480 children with epilepsy (116 cases of refractory epilepsy) and 503 healthy children. SNP rs2295080 and rs2536 in the mTOR gene were detected by polymerase chain...
