Abstract
Objective: The idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) are the most common genetically determined epilepsies. However, the underlying genes are largely unknown. We screened the SLC2A1 gene, encoding the glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1), for mutations in a group of 95 European patients with familial IGE.
