摘要
The genes of two group III metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGluR7 and 8, are candidate susceptibility genes for epilepsy. The Tyr433Phe polymorphism of mGluR7 and a novel polymorphism in the mGluR8 gene located 29 bp after the termination codon (2756C/T) were investigated in case control association studies performed on DNA from more than 100 patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE). No significant association was found with IGE for either polymorphism. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
