Mutational analysis of familial and sporadic hyperekplexia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Chronic seizures in women can have adverse effects on reproductive function, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, but it has been difficult to dissociate the effects of epilepsy from the role of antiepileptic drugs. To distinguish the effects of chronic seizures from medication, we used the laboratory rat, be...
