  • Title: Failure to find association between febrile seizures and SCN1A rs3812718 polymorphism in south Indian patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and hippocampal sclerosis.

    Journal: Epilepsy Res; 2012 Sep; 101(3):288-92. PubMed ID: 22578703.
    Abstract:
    We compared the allele and genotype frequencies of SCN1A SNP rs3812718 between patients with MTLE-HS of south Indian ancestry with and without febrile seizures (FS) and with ethnically matched controls. While we observed no significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies of rs3812718 between MTLE-HS patients with and without FS, A allele and AA genotype were overrepresented in MTLE-HS patients when compared to controls. We conclude that in the population studied, although rs3812718 polymorphism increases the susceptibility to MTLE-HS, this is not by increasing the susceptibility to FS.
