Lack of Association between a GABAB Receptor 1 Gene Polymorphism and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Summary:  Purpose: Recently a coding nonsynonymous single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; G1465A) in the GABBR1 gene was reported to be associated with the incidence and severity of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). To clarify the role of this polymorphism in TLE, we attempted to replicate this study.
