The purpose of this study was to determine a possible association between two GABA transporter (GAT) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs2697153 G>A in SLC6A1 (GAT-1) and rs2272400 C>T in SLC6A11 (GAT-3), and drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). DNA was isolated from 138 TLE patients (from the neocortex) and 94 non-epileptic controls (from blood/buccal swaps), and amplified by polymerase chain...
