Abstract
- Although complex idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGEs) are recognized to have a significant genetic component, as yet there are no known common susceptibility variants. It has recently been suggested that variation in the BRD2 gene confers increased risk of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), which accounts for around a quarter of all IGE. Here we examine the association between the candidate causal SNP (the promoter variant rs3918149) and JME in five independent cohorts comprising in total 531 JME cases and 1,390 healthy controls.<br />Comparative Study<br />Journal Article<br />Multicenter Study<br />Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't<br />FLWIN<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
