Abstract

Mutations in the genes encoding the alpha-4, beta-2 and alpha-2 subunits of the neuronal nicotine acetylcholine receptor account for only 12% of autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) families and a few sporadic cases, Recently two novel genes, DEPDC5 and KCNT1, have been implicated in ADNFLE, confirming the genetic heterogeneity of this epilepsy syndrome.
