Abstract excerpt
Hereditary factors play a major role in the etiology of idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs). The pivotal function of ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABRs) in inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian central nervous system suggests that they may be involved in epileptogenesis and genetic predisposition to IGEs. Dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms associated with the human GABAA...
