[' An increasing number of epileptic syndromes belongs to this group of rare disorders: Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy is caused by mutations in a neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (affected genes: CHRNA4, CHRNB2), benign familial neonatal convulsions by mutations in potassium channels constituting the M-current (KCNQ2, KCNQ3), generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus by mutations in subunits of the voltage-gated sodium channel or the GABA(A) receptor (SCN1B, SCN1A, GABRG2), and episodic ataxia type 1-which is associated with epilepsy in a few patients--by mutations within another voltage-gated potassium channel (KCNA1).].
