## 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 autosomal‐dominant
The ␣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
