Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Previous studies have suggested that GABARG2 (Gamma-Aminobutyric acid type A Receptor Gamma 2 subunit) could be a gene of interest in genetic epilepsy; through possible associations with increased epilepsy susceptibility or resistance to antiepileptic drugs. The present study was designed to explore whether the GABARG2 C588 T (rs211037) genetic variant predicts susceptibility to epilepsy and...
