## 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

The β£4 subunit gene of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (CHRNA4) has recently been identified as the first gene underlying an idiopathic partial epilepsy syndrome in human, autosomal-dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE). CHRNA4 is located in the candidate region for benign
Parent-of-origin effect in transmission of bipolar disorder and abnormal phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 31 P-MRS) findings in the brain in patients with bipolar disorder implicate pathophysiological role of mitochondrial DNA in bipolar disorder. The authors examined possible associa
We searched for mutations in the CCK gene in panic disorder with single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the three exons and promotor region of the gene. We found a C-->T transition at position -36 (CCK(-36C-->T)) in a GC box, a binding site for transcription factor Sp1, in the
## Abstract The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying binge eating disorder (BED) are poorly understood. There is evidence that abnormalities in brain serotonin (5HT) play an important role in binge eating behavior, therefore genes involved in 5HT transmission, such as the 5HT transporter (5HTT)
