The gene encoding the GABA B receptor (GABA B R1) maps close to the HLA-F locus on chromosome 6p21.3 in the same region to which a major susceptibility locus for common subtypes of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), designated as EJM1, has been localized. Moreover, animal models suggest that the

Juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) is a common subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Hereditary factors play a major role in its etiology. The important function of glutamate receptors (GluRs) in excitatory neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and neurodevelopment suggests their involvem
## Abstract Idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) refers to a common group of epilepsies, and genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Mutations in __CHRNA4__ and __CHRNB2__ are associated with some cases of familial epilepsies classified as autosomalβdominant
